A new Survey USA poll has GOP Senator Norm Coleman running neck and neck in head to head match-ups with Democratic candidates Al Franken and Mike Ciresi.
The poll interviewed 750 Minnesotans between October 24th and October 28th.
Coleman leads Franken 46% to 45% in a head to head match-up. That's within the margin of error of ± 3.8%.
Coleman and Ciresi are tied at 44% each.
The poll also found that the war in Iraq is the top issue among those surveyed. Health care is the second most important issue.
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.
