• In the Minnesota Senate race, Republican challenger Coleman leads incumbent Senator Paul Wellstone 44 to 40 percent in a poll commissioned by Coleman.

Yeah, this is Coleman's poll, while the media poll showed Wellstone (as always) with a slight lead within MOE. I don't have a single poll showing Forrester with a 6-point lead. Must be a new one out. Gotta do some digging!

I didn't find an Eagleton poll showing Forrester up by six points, but I did find a new Eagleton poll. Perhaps there will soon be an accompanying article detailing general voter choices between the two candidates.

This poll does show some good news for Forrester:
-Republicans and independents are both more engaged and excited than Democrats.
-The generic voter preference favors Torch slightly in general, but Forrester among those most likely to vote. This was a good gauge in recent NJ elections for final outcomes.
-Torch's best argument, IMHO, was the "don't give the GOP the Senate" approach." This poll shows that issue is a dead heat. No advantage either way. Not good for Bobby T.
