Right in line with other polling...seems to give credence to the earlier poll showing Mills up 8.

Polling a house race vs. a statewide race are very different animals. See: Siena's track record in NY in house polls vs. statewide.

It's interesting that even though multiple Senate races have soured for Dems in the past few weeks, the gubernatorial races really haven't.

Well, to be fair, if this was suddenly truly competitive (within 5 points), it would almost certainly indicate a HUGE nationwide R wave - probably including Gillespie coming within five points.

I feel like undecideds break for Johnson, but just barely, to the point where Dayton is robbed of a double digit win. We'll see though.

Most of the souring for Senate races was in hardcore Republican states. That's where most of the competitive Senate seats are.

Worth noting that Dayton way overpolled last time.  He led +5.2 in the RCP average and won by +0.5.  I don't know if this was just a fluke, but it's worth considering.

Not Colorado and Iowa.

I suspect that's because of a lack of enthusiasm for Dayton due to his terrible record in the Senate and the 2010 wave. I think it'll be different this time around, but we'll see.
