Minnesota Senate Race Unexpectedly Close: Campaign Update

Photographer: A Senate race is unexpectedly close in Minnesota. More bad news for vote counting in Pennsylvania. And a second ad for Democratic nominee Joe Biden features actor Sam Elliott.

There are 12 days until the election and 53 days until the Electoral College meets.

Other Developments:

In a KSTP/Survey USA poll released Thursday, Minnesota Senator Tina Smith is essentially tied with Republican challenger Jason Lewis 43% to 42%, with an unusually high 12% undecided.

Smith had leads of 4, 8 and 10 points in three polls in Minnesota taken since mid-September. She was appointed to the seat after Al Franken resigned and won a special election in 2018 to fill out the rest of his term.

Democrats had high hopes for retaking the Senate as Republicans were defending vulnerable seats. Only Democratic Senator Doug Jones of Alabama was considered a likely loser. But Michigan Senator Gary Peters and Smith are in closer-than-expected races.

The poll of 625 likely voters in Minnesota was conducted Oct. 16-20. It has a margin of error of 5 percentage points.
