The WDIO/Survey poll of 673 people has the Minnesota contest in  a statistical tie. 43% to 42% with the BLM enthusiast, Tina Lewis with the very small lead in a state that has refused to vote Republican for decades!

Ahh.     One poll.     Only one small subset of available data. 

One   obvious *outlier* poll    in the face of all these polls showing the contrary.

Well good luck with that...

good point   fubah2

its as silly to handicap a senate race based on only one single poll as it is to handicap baseball using just one single stat

thank u for keeping us informed of the polling 

I am looking forward to the contest. I wear x large and prefer blue! Just let me know when you need my address.

Who is coming in 2nd?

Well that's the point which some people HERE apparently DON'T understand....which is *shocking* given this is the premier handicapping site on the net....

still      the rump lickers here still insist on dismissing all polls except the single one that makes rump look slightly better than he really is
