The latest Zogby poll showing

The latest Zogby poll showing Paul Wellstone with a nine-point lead over Norm Coleman in Minnesota’s key Senate race has caused something of a stir, especially since his last poll, done in September, showed Coleman up by six. Local insiders, however, give the Zogby numbers little credence. Both the Republicans’ polling and the Democrats’ polling have consistently shown Coleman and Wellstone within a point or two of each other, with no major recent shift. The race remains a toss-up and will likely be determined by which side does a better job of turning out its voters.
