…the real story was this: Mark Dayton dropped eight points in the SurveyUSA/KSTP poll. Emmer was up four. They’re in a statistical tie.
Leftybloggers point out that the crosstabs changed; this SUSA/KSTP poll had equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats, while the previous one polled more Democrats.
Not enough more to completely explain an eight point drop, of course.
