MN-06: Tinklenberg Leads in Another Poll

http://swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3656

Minnesota Public Radio (10/21-23, likely voters):

Elwyn Tinklenberg (DFL): 45
Michelle Bachmann (R-inc): 43
Bob Anderson (IP): 5
(MoE: ±4.7%)
Last night SurveyUSA showed Elwyn Tinklenberg zooming out of obscurity and past Michelle Bachmann in the wake of her mac-carth-a moment on Hardball. Today gives us another poll (from Minnesota Public Radio) giving Tinklenberg a small edge.

This poll is also interesting because it delved into the specifics of whether or not Bachmann's comments are driving voter decisions. Turns out, yes, they are:


Nearly four out of 10 voters in the 6th District said they were less likely to support the Congresswoman because of her comments compared to 8 percent who said they are now more supportive.
Bachmann is, in fact, suddenly less popular than even Norm Coleman, who posts a 14-point edge over Al Franken in this R+5 district.

UPDATE: According to Politico, Bachmann has now taped an apology ad that will air in the closing week of the campaign. Sounds good; just ask Tom Feeney how that worked out for him!

I would love to see her get her ass handed to her on a silver platter.

I thought Franken was ahead......
