Poll Offers Sliver of Hope for Democrats
“With only 18 days left until Election Day, an NPR survey of likely voters in battleground districts found that while the overall field still tilts to the GOP, Democrats are closing the gap in some places.”
“The good news for Democrats is that they have improved their position in 58 of the battleground districts. In June, Democratic candidates trailed their Republican opponents in these districts by 8 points. Now, the GOP advantage is only 3 points.”
Dayton Leads in Minnesota
A new SurveyUSA poll in Minnesota finds Mark Dayton (D) leads Tom Emmer (R) by five points in the race for governor, 42% to 37%, with Independence Party candidate Tom Horner at 14%.
Dayton is up by four points and Emmer by one point compared to a similar poll a month ago. Horner, who has lost support among Independents and voters over age 50, is down by four points.
