5. KSTP often leans right on its polls, but it's true, this is a tight, terrible race.

I dread waking up and having the country celebrating an HRC win while we in the 8th are faced with Mills. Duluth will have to turn out hard. The mining/water issue hasn't helped either inside or outside the party as well, I'm sure.

70 percent of this poll was landline, 30 percent was cell phone. I know this district trends older, but I'm not sure that's truly representative. Still, the DFL needs to bust its ass on this one.
