Coleman pulled ahead 53% to 43%
according to KSTP. Barkley - 19% - is siphoning more from Franken than from Coleman.

2. Here's The Numbers
"The mid-September poll showed Coleman at 41 percent and Franken at 37 percent, with Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley at a surprisingly robust 13 percent."

4. KSTP polls cant be trusted.
Al slammed Hubbard the other day, and channel 5 is no better than faux. Bruccato is a savage republidiot.

6. I thought there was one last week where Coleman and Franken were in a dead heat
(was it the Rasmussen?).

I almost got into a the office today with someone who says he's voting for Barkely. I told him that if he was really that happy with Coleman he might as well just vote for him.

9. I now realize that. The strib had the numbers reversed
and KSTP also said that McCain and Obama are neck and neck and, again, the Strib results are different.

Someone must be wrong.


(I watch their 5:00 or 6:00 PM news because they give me just the news, without the fluff of sobbing people that KARE and WCCO provide).

7. SUSA has never polled MN
They have sucked all cycle, and their internals are absolutely shyte.

See more recent Star-Trib poll for more accurate data.

8. Oct 4 Star Tribune Poll: Franken 43, Coleman 34, Barkley 18

I don't think that other poll can be trusted.

10. Newest MPR polling shows Franken up by 4
something like a 13 point net bounce from the previous poll.
