A Minneapolis ABC affiliate reports on a new Survey USA poll:

On election night, each candidate received only 42 percent of the votes. Now it appears they're both even less popular.

Only 38 percent of Minnesotans surveyed said they view Coleman favorably. 44 percent have an unfavorable view.

Franken scored similarly with 37 percent favorable and 45 percent unfavorable.

Only 44 percent of Minnesotans think that Coleman should concede to Franken. This isn't bad news for Coleman considering that Franken got 42 percent of the vote on election night. There are some serious vote counting irregularities that Coleman is contesting in court, but his chances of overcoming Franken's 225 vote lead are slim.
