Poll: Franken up narrowly in Minnesota

[liskddksil]

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Minnesota voters shows Democrat Al Franken attracting 44% of the vote and incumbent Republican Norm Coleman earning 42%. A month ago, it was Coleman 48% and Franken 45%.

Franken’s support has stayed between 43% and 45% in four straight polls. The current poll is by far the lowest level of support earned by the incumbent, suggesting that the rumblings of a possible Ventura campaign raised new possibilities for voters to consider. However, on Monday night, Ventura announced that he will not enter the campaign.

In a two-way race, Coleman earns 90% of the Republican vote, Franken gets 76% of Democrats, and the candidates split the unaffiliated vote. A month ago, Coleman was supported by 20% of Democrats. Now, that figure is down to 10%.
