Barkley at 19%!

A KSTP/Survey USA poll has Dean Barkley up to 19%.

19% before a penny was spent on advertising.

19% for a candidate who has barely been on the campaign trail for 2 months.

Wow.

Previous polls indicated Barkley taking voters away from Senator Coleman. This poll reflects Al Franken taking a significant hit over the past 3 weeks, losing 10 points total.

The numbers reflect the simple fact that Al Franken is un-electable. You can spend millions and millions of dollars, reshaping the image. The $6 million man he is not. You can't rebuild him, you don't have the technology. It's not working.

Over the past 3 weeks, Franken has lost 7 points from men, 7 points from women, lost 10 points from voters 18-49, and 3 points to those over 50.

Ouch!

About a month away from the election, it's quite clear...Dean Barkley has tremendous momentum and Al Franken is faltering, severely.
