KSTP/Survey USA poll: Gov race is tightening
The latest KSTP-TV/Survey USA poll shows Democrat Mark Dayton with a lead in the race for governor. The poll results were released during the 10pm so there's no web story yet. But KSTP's Tom Hauser tweeted some of the information.
Dayton is polling at 38%, Republican Tom Emmer is polling at 36% and the Independence Party's Tom Horner is polling at 18%. Other/undecided is polling at 9%. The margin of error is +/-3.9%.
Hauser also points out that Dayton had a 14-point lead over Emmer in August.
The poll is similar to the U of M/MPR News poll in late August that showed the race deadlocked.
