Sen. Tafoya? Minnesota Polling Shows a Dead Heat

Brand new polling from the heartland shows that the Democrats have a problem in the Gopher State.

Right now, Lt Gov. Peggy Flanagan has a slight 2-point lead, within the margin of error, at 40% vs. 38% for former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya. The remaining voters responded 4% for independent candidate Marisa Simonetti, “other candidates” at 3%, and 14% of voters undecided.

Into the home stretch of campaign season, such a tight race in a normally safe Democrat bastion presents a big headache for national party operatives and donors.

Clearly, they will have to invest heavily to try to convince voters that radical Flanagan belongs in the U.S. Senate.
