Rasmussen (10/22, likely voters, 10/9):
Al Franken (D): 41 (43)
Norm Coleman (R-inc): 37 (37)
Dean Barkley (I): 17 (17)
(MoE: ±4.5%)
There’s been little movement in Minnesota over the last few weeks, according to Rasmussen. Al Franken has lost a few points (apparently back to the undecided column), but things seem pretty stationary. The wild card in this race is independent Dean Barkley, but his rapid climb of the last couple months seems to have plateaued. This sample finds Coleman continuing to have trouble with the favorable/unfavorable question (46/50), while Franken actually cracks the 50% mark on favorability this time (51/47, with a very high 31% viewing him “very unfavorable”).
Univ. of Wisconsin (Big 10 Poll) (10/19-22, likely voters):
Al Franken (D): 40
Norm Coleman (R-inc): 34
Dean Barkley (I): 15
(MoE: ±4.2%)
The Big 10 poll, primarily a poll of presidential battlegrounds in midwestern states, also came out today, and this time they threw in the Minnesota Senate race for good measure (so no trendlines available on this one). Here, Franken leads by 6. Obama leads McCain in this sample by a crushing 57-38.
Of Georgia. I think the guy that gets 43% is will assuredly win the race.
Because of the unconventional candidate we’re running and a very credible third-parrty candidate you can’t expect undecideds to go to the challenger like you would in most races, but things definitely look good.
One with Amy Klobuchar and another with Hillary Clinton

And this is the state McCain is putting all his chips in? He’s not even winning the white vote much less the overall vote.

This race is almost impossible to poll and I really hope Franken wins, but the UWisc poll should be taken with a pinch of salt. They have historically had a really bad reputation for accuracy.
