Franken leads in 9 out of the last 11 polls in October. The two where he is not leading are KSTP/SUSA polls. I presume that the small leads KSTP/SUSA gives Madia and Tinklenberg are underestimated.
10/23 Franken 41, Coleman 37, Barkley 17 (Rasmussen)
10/23 Franken 40, Coleman 34, Barkley 15 (Big Ten)
10/21 Franken 39, Coleman 36, Barkley 18 (Star Tribune)

The polls are indeed getting consistent.
A “independent” colleague of mine came into my office after the “angry al” commercial, crowing that “minnesota will NEVER elect Franken NOW”
I told him he was fucking stupid, and underestimating the intelligence of Minnesota voters. Looks like I was right.
There was a Survey USA poll this week showing Coleman up by 2 as well.

Off topic, I know, but assuming Obama wins, how will his and Biden’s open seats be filled?
Assuming it is Gubernatorial appointment, both states have Democratic governors, but Delaware’s is up for re-election on Nov 4 as well.
