The marathon post-election battle between Democrat Al Franken and Republican Norm Coleman has bruised the images of both candidates, according to a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll.
The favorability ratings for both candidates have fallen since the days before last November’s election, although Coleman’s rating has taken a bigger fall.
Franken’s favorable rating of 47 percent just before the election has dropped to 43 percent in the current Minnesota Poll. Forty-eight percent said they had an unfavorable impression of Franken, while the remainder said they didn’t know or refused to answer.
Coleman’s favorable rating of 46 percent on the eve of the election has fallen to just 38 percent now. Fifty-five percent said they have an unfavorable impression of him.
The current poll of 1,042 Minnesota adults was taken April 20-23 and has a margin of sampling error of 4.0 percentage points, plus or minus.
Read the full poll results – including the percentage of Minnesotans who think Coleman should concede now -- in Sunday’s Star Tribune.
