Research 2000 for Daily Kos (10/15-16, likely voters, 9/15-17 in parens):
Bruce Lunsford (D): 42 (37)
Mitch McConnell (R-inc): 46 (50)
(MoE: ±4%)
That’s some nice mo’ for Lunsford in the past month, who has gained some more ground among Democrats and Independents since the previous R2K poll here. Post-bailout, McConnell’s favorable rating has taken a bit of a hit — he currently sits at 47-46, down from 51-43 in September.
Lunsford will need a strong finish in order to pull this off, but this race is looking a lot more doable than it did a couple of months ago.
SUSA gives Franken a big bump–but still not ahead.
Bonus finding: Obama finally back in the lead in MN.
According to registration figures from April (our advantage may have increased even more now), 57% of registered voters are Democrats… this poll only listed Democrats at 46%… Could this really be a tied race?
Once we get these under our belt, we should get to work on ME-Sen and OK-Sen next!
