Just breezing around the Rasmussen Reports Election Edge 2006 this morning, we find that the poll for the Minnesota Senate is for the premium members only. I'm not a premium member so relying on the Star Tribune article, we find that Mark Kennedy is trailing both Amy Klobuchar and Patty Wetterling.
According to the survey, 62 percent of those surveyed said the war in Iraq will affect their vote, mirroring the presidential election of 2004, which was a referendum on Iraq. The difference now, of course, is that support for the war has weakened considerably, setting the possibility that support for Republicans could similarly weaken.
That could change with the coming announce of troop withdrawals from Iraq. According to Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. will cut two brigades next year.
Meanwhile, last August DFLer Peter Idusogie surveyed DFL delegates to the last convention, and found overwhelming support for Klobuchar.
