Al Franken getting closer in polls by SurveyUSA.

Up to this point, polling results on the Minnesota Senate race over the past several months had fallen into two categories:

Rasmussen polling, and
everybody else's polling.

Rasmussen has consistently been the most favorable to DFL and Orange to Blue candidate Al Franken, showing a consistent 2-3 point race with incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman. In several polls, Franken actually showed a small lead.

Other pollsters, however, such as SurveyUSA and Quinnipiac, had shown the race in something of a holding pattern, with Coleman enjoying a consistent double-digit lead.

SUSA's most recent poll, however, has broken the cycle.

SurveyUSA. 8/12-14. Likely voters. MoE 3.8% (7/11-13 results)

Coleman (R) 46 (52)
Franken (D) 39 (39)
