Red Start Tribune Rule of thumb - always out by 10%

10% margin sounds about right

That's what happens when you have a "wave".  The Star-Tribune's ancient polling model actually reflected the way things were (at least in the Senate race)

Of course, they missed the Governor's race again, but that's not surprising.

The problem is that this will influence them to do more polling.

Damn, I never see think about the bad consequences. Why can't they just hire SurveyUSA or something... geeze...

You mean SHE barely won Scott. And yeah, that blew me away.

Klobuchar also won Roseau by 3 points (Bush's best county in the state), and the mother of all suprises: Came within a point and only 300 votes of winning OTTER TAIL.
