Poll has governor's race dead even, Klobuchar leads Kennedy

The Wall Street Journal's Zogby poll has the governor's race in Minnesota as a dead heat. Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty leads Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch 43.1% to 42.9%. The margin of error is 4.2%. The poll says Independence Party Candidate Peter Hutchinson is polling in the single digits. (I originally wrote that the poll didn't include him - that was wrong - and I apologize for the mistake).

There's also a poll on MN's U.S. Senate race. The poll also has Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar, a DFLer, leading Republican Congressman Mark Kennedy by six percentage points.

The poll shows Klobuchar with 49.4% and Kennedy with 42.9%. The margin of error is 4.9%.

DSCC's internal polling has Klobuchar up by more than that - around 16 points.
