MS-Sen-B: Wicker Up by 1 Point in New Poll

http://swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3516

Research 2000 for Daily Kos (10/14-15, likely voters, 9/8-10 in parens):

Ronnie Musgrove (D): 46 (43)
Roger Wicker (R-inc): 47 (48)
(MoE: ±4%)
Well, the tightening of this race (also evident in the most recent Rasmussen poll of Mississippi) is great news, but Musgrove has also inched up to 24% of the white vote -- that could well be very close to what he needs in order to squeak out a win here, assuming he can take 90% or more of the black vote (he currently beats Wicker among African-Americans by 83-5, with 12% undecided).

Bonus finding: McCain leads Obama by 50-40 in the same poll.

1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one

Democrats need to reestablish some presence in southern states and this would be a good start.
