Poll: Franken closes in on Coleman (now within 5 points)

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Considering that Al started out 20 points or so down and is now in the margin of error this early, I think we're going to win Wellstone's seat back (this one's personal). Al's primary challenger (who I know little about) is doing well in a potential match-up, too, so it's probably an equal mixture of strong Dem message and Coleman's votes coming back to haunt him
I think I'm sending another check next week

Minnesota is likely to host one of the more interesting and competitive Senate races in Election 2008.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone poll of the race shows incumbent Senator Norm Coleman (R) attracting just 46% support from voters and holding very modest leads over two Democrats seeking his job.

Coleman, a freshman Senator, leads comedian Al Franken (D) 46% to 41%. Coleman’s level of support is unchanged from our previous poll, conducted in March. In that earlier poll, Coleman led Franken 46% to 36%.

The current poll also finds Coleman leading Minneapolis attorney Mike Ciresi 46% to 42%. Ciresi has never held office before, but narrowly missed winning the party nomination for the U.S. Senate in Election 2000.
