There's polls, interviews and ads. Let's start with the latest Survey USA poll that says 46% of those polled approve of the job GOP Sen. Norm Coleman is doing. 45% disapprove and 9% are undecided.
The poll comes out on the same day that Coleman goes after Al Franken for refusing to denounce a MoveOn.org ad criticizing Army General David Petreaus. Here's the MPR story with fresh comments from Coleman and Franken.
Franken also sat down with Matthew Cooper with Conde Nast Porfolio. Yes, it's that Matt Cooper.
You can listen to the entire interview here. He talks about Coleman's ad, his stance regarding the war in Iraq and his support for nuclear energy (among other things).
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
