Even though the participants in this year's Senate State Fair poll were most often Democrats, they didn't indicate a strong interest in jacking up taxes.

The House and Senate have prepared their annual State Fair polls. The House Public Information Services Office today announced its list that asks Fairgoers 13 questions including expansion of gambling, alternative teacher licensure and smoking in a car when a child is aboard.

The nonpartisan Secretary of the Senate's office has assembled this year's batch of questions for its annual State Fair survey. The survey will query State Fair goers on their views on major issues like a Minnesota Vikings stadium, alternative pathways to teacher licensure and the state budget deficit.
