Minnesota's two aspirants for the White House are still languishing in margin-of-error land in a new poll.

Consistent with their showings in other recent polls, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (definitely running) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (most likely) are mired in the single digits in a poll released Wednesday.

The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that Pawlenty is backed by just 5 percent of Americans who identify themsleves as Republicans or lean toward the GOP. Bachmann is supported by 6 percent of those polled. That's barely outside the poll's margin of sampling error.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads the presumed Republican field with 25 percent of the Republicans and independents who lean toward the party, with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin supported by 15 percent. Every other candidate remains stuck in the single digits.

In a matchup against President Obama, who Pawlenty has criticized with increasingly harsh rhetoric, Pawlenty trails 48 percent to 36 percent. Bachmann wasn't matched up in a horse race question about the president.
