They usually lean left of all other polls. Anyone who knows Minnesota knows there is no way she's up 8%. Even considering the margin of error, it would be questionable. I wouldn't be surprised if she is up even as much as 3%. But keep in mind that other polls taken around the 10th (which were displayed in Yahoo's Daily Battleground Update as they're published) had Wetterling down 3%. I believe I saw 2 polls that said as much. So the StarTrib poll must be taken with a grain of salt. For Wetterling to be up 8% in this poll taken at the same time as the others in a conservative district is clearly "sketch" to say the least. Don't take this poll for granted. As much as I'd love to see her win, and possibly work for her, it won't be and is not by 8%.
Let's wait for some of the others.
In the meantime,

I challenge everyone to donate at least $25 to her campaign and, if possible, donate $100 and spread the word through email. Email your liberal friends and relatives and ask them to contribute by linking to her
