MN-Sen: Franken Noses Coleman in DSCC Poll

The Mellman Group for the DSCC (9/29-10/1, likely voters):

Al Franken (D): 38

Norm Coleman (R-inc): 36

Dean Barkley (IP): 12

(MoE: ±4%)

This poll comes on the heels of a suspect SUSA poll that showed McCain leading by one point and Coleman by 10. Mellman finds that Norm’s job approval is still on the rocks, with only 32% approving and 56% disapproving of his performance in DC.

The poll also confirms that Independence Party nominee Dean Barkley is attracting a significant share of the vote, making this race a tough one to handicap.
