Analysts: Polls suggest Wellstone in trouble

Posted: Tuesday, April 16, 2002

ST. PAUL (AP) -- Two polls conducted by political parties show that Sen. Paul Wellstone is struggling in his campaign for a third term, according to a report published Tuesday.

The polls show the Democrat getting support from just 42 percent of Minnesota voters, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.

On Monday, national Democrats released a poll showing Wellstone narrowly leading Republican challenger Norm Coleman -- 42 percent to 40 percent. Earlier this month, national Republicans released their own poll of Minnesota voters showing Coleman ahead, 49 percent to 42 percent.
