Mason/Dixon: Coleman up 6 points

Posted at 11:44 AM on October 30, 2008 by Tom Scheck (1 Comments)

The latest Mason/Dixon poll has GOP Sen. Norm Coleman leading DFLer Al Franken and I-P candidate Dean Barkley. Coleman has support from 42% of those polled. Franken is polling at 36%, 12% are backing Barkley.

Here's what will determine the race: 10% of those polled are still undecided.

Color me skeptical. The poll also has Obama over McCain here, at 48 to 40. My guess is that a dig into their methodology will reveal an overweight of Repubs in their sample.
