Description | Most Minnesotans think U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton overreacted when he closed his Senate office in Washington because of a secret terrorism warning, yet that decision has had little immediate impact on Dayton's job approval ratings, a new statewide poll found.
The poll showed that 53 percent of Minnesotans thought Dayton, D-Minn., had overreacted by temporarily closing his Washington office, while 32 percent agreed it was a "prudent" reaction. The poll for the St. Paul Pioneer Press was conducted in mid-October.
Men were far more critical of Dayton's decision than were women. By a margin of 62 to 27 percent, men thought Dayton had overreacted. Women were more evenly split, and women were also more likely to be unsure if it was a wise decision or not.
