Orman 48% Roberts 47% Batson 5%
EDIT: Admittedly it is a small sample size, but in three recent races where an incumbent in a safe state for his own party was down a sizable amount in the polls in early October (Alaska 2004, Montana 2006, Alaska 2008), the incumbent performed roughly 5 points stronger than expected. I will err on the side of trusting the polls, since Orman's lead is roughly 5 points, but I suspect that this race will be closer than currently forecasted.
