Rasmussen Reports published a new poll today:
The United States Senate race in Minnesota remains a toss-up. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Minnesota voters shows Republican incumbent Norm Coleman attracting 44% of the vote and challenger Al Franken earning 43%. Two weeks ago, it was Franken by two. A month ago, it was Coleman by three.
Interesting as well:
When leaners are included in the current poll, it’s Franken with a slight edge, 49% to 46%.
And digging deeper, the favorable/unfavorable question is more good news for Franken: Coleman 57% favorable, 39% unfavorable with Franken 60% favorable and 37% unfavorable.

(Cue maniacal laughter)
Great news. Coleman at 44% and Franken still ahead, if within MOE(and with leaners) Fantastic.
And his favorables are much better than they were.
Yeah! 60% favorable. Awesome!
Brodkorbs head explodes!!!!
60% of people must love rape and beastiality. And juicy porn.
I’ve been warming up to Al and may be ready for a button, bumper sticker or yard sign soon. My advice for ads is to mostly stick with voice overs focused on Norms record and keep Al’s appearance to I approve this message.
Strategery, I agree 100%,
60% of Minnesotas people disagree with Republicans like us on issues that matter. If we pay attention to them, then we are Socialists.
Great Job!
This is the effect of one good ad about the issues that tags Norm as a Bushbot with screwed up priorities. That and the Kennedy-like hockey ads. New York Norm goes down in flames listening to those Texas morons just like Mark Kennedy… makes me proud to be a Minnesotan.
TFRWG, what does it mean when you’re being ironic to my ironic post? Does it double the irony or cancel it out? I’m afraid it cancels it out. It’s a funny-ish bit, but you deployed it against the wrong guy.
I believe it leaves us with exponential snark.
Sounds dangerous.
TFRWG surpasses other posters attempts at irony and is the only reason I read through comment threads that turn into flame wars. Keep up the great job TFRWG!
Strategery, mI agree 100%,
Perhaps you could elaborate why you are “the wrong guy”. That sounds like a veiled threat against a fellow Republican.
Everybody knows Republicans are the smartest men in the room. Obviously, since you are Republican, you are too.
Fill me in on this confusing statement by you.
Great Job!
TFRWG just got TFRWG’d.
Why does the Rasmussen poll differ so much from the Quinnipiac University poll that is getting all of the press?
More important — why isn’t the Rasmussen poll getting more press?
