A nearly ideal poll for the DEMs. Shows them in the lead, but not by a lot. Keeps the DEM voter interest high.

Not wishing for anything. Just saying the left will try to make the polls “more realistic” this time around, except in those cases they are behind for a seat they wish to flip. They (MSM) are going to do everything they can to ramp up DEM voter interest for this midterm.

Yeah, that’s fools gold.

Like my belief that people here in PA will finally start to notice that Bob Casey never supports ANYTYHING in Washington that’s in line with their values and will QUIT VOTING for the big schmuck.

Not holding my breath even though it would be nice to make up for the Alabama Senate seat disaster. I’m worried as heck for Arizona in November - we might end up with someone flakier than Flake!

It’s not out of the question.

This seat belongs to Tina Smith (our former Lt. Governor) and who was appointed to the seat when Franken resigned.

Tina is, not surprisingly, voting like a liberal. But she’s trying hard to hide it. she even altered her name when she became Senator. She’s no longer Tina Flint Smith. She’s just Tina Smith. She’s also claiming that she’s working across party lines to do good things for all Minnesotans.

Folks, that’s just not true. She votes and acts like a liberal and even in Minnesota, she’s trying to cover that up. if she came out and said that she was a liberal, I’d at least respect her honesty.

There is a choice in November - and a good choice too. her name is Karin Housley, a state senator. This woman is smart and tough. She’d make a great Senator. Go here for more info:

Her advertisements are enough to scare the heck out of conservatives and she did not come off well on "At Issue" at all.

There is hope...

I missed “At Issue”.

Was she that bad? Normally, she’s pretty poised.

I read that Housley is the wife of an NHL star. This could be a big help in MN.
Does anyone know how she is on Trump? Is she GOPe or good Conservative?

Doubt voters will split votes

The poll indicates there WILL be lots of split votes:

Smith 32, Housley 28

Klobuchar 50, Newberger 26

This indicates 20% of votes will be split.

My first-hand experience:

"Amy Klobuchar has done a LOT for Minnesota!"

(Me): "Like what? Name something."

(Silence........)

Politicians (mostly Democrats) are elected and re-elected and re-elected by clueless morons who have no idea what they're voting for.

after living in MN for 20yrs. I have learned that their polls are skewed to the left. Whatever the results are, subtract 10 points from Dems and add 15 pts to Repubs. They over sample demonrats by large margins.

Yeah right. Frankenstein stole his seat thanks to 1099 felon ballots that gave him a 312 vote lead to win....and a phucking judge upheld it. Let face it, unless we destroy every candidate by 10 points or more, each race will be stolen one by one!
