Incumbent Rep. Walt Minnick’s lead over Republican Raul Labrador fell from 10 percentage points in mid-September to 3 percentage points late last week, says a poll commissioned by the Idaho Statesman and six other newspapers.

Go Labrador, you can do it!
If the polls say a D is in a dead heat with a R this election cycle, that ‘dead heat’ is the toaster oven.
Here’s the deal Boisians. Vote for Labrador and the rest of us will support Boise State for a spot in the BCS Championship Game.
Real Clear Politics still has it as “Leans Democrat” even though the difference in the poll is with in the margin of error.
Can’t I do both? Go Broncos!

What’s this about a Labrador in heat?..............
Idaho Republicans have huge leads in two races, with Sen. Mike Crapo up 44 percentage points on Democrat Tom Sullivan and 2nd District Rep. Mike Simpson leading Democrat Mike Crawford by 50 percentage points.
In two top statewide races, Republicans have double-digit leads: Gov. Butch Otter by 22 percentage points over Democrat Keith Allred and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna over Democrat Stan Olson by 16 percentage points.
Labrador retriever!
RealClearPolitics moved the race to Toss-Up today.
If this Labrador can run for office, maybe I’ll convince my Pug to do so next time around.
Minnick is a fairly conservative Democrat and Labrador won a pretty ugly Republican primary.
If I’m not mistaken, the most Republican parts of Boise are in this district; it’s least Republican areas are in the Panhandle (which is historically Democrat). In the past couple of presidential elections both Idaho districts have voted identically Republican, so I don’t think that Republicans need to change the boundaries much during redistricting. The only reason why the pro-abortion Democrat Minnick is competitive is because so many Republicans in the district have their heads up their posteriors.
I would call the polling into question.
Minnick DID vote for Pelosi as Speaker, and he has gone on record saying he would vote against repealing Obombacare. He may be sorta fiscally conservative, but that's as far as I would go.
At the end of the day, he's still a Democrat.
Go, Labrador! Do the right thing, Idahoans.
I was just trying to give a nut shell description of why the race was close in a normally Republican state and congressional district. By the way, I think the poll is accurate. Minnick won in 2008 but the district voted overwhelmingly for McCain.
This is Idaho-1 seat.
This must have happened later today when they got the new poll.
Additionally, many on Freerepublic claim that Real Clear Poltics has very Democratic favoring results because they use some very liberal polls.
If so, that would mean races like this one might favor the Republican...
