| Description | FARGO, N.D. - A new poll shows that a race pitting Gov. John Hoeven as the challenger for Sen. Kent Conrad's seat would be a close battle.
Conrad's office called the poll "flawed," while Hoeven declined comment. The matchup is hypothetical. Hoeven has not declared himself a candidate for Conrad's seat in 2006.
The poll conducted for The Forum by PMR Inc. of Davenport, Iowa, showed Hoeven leading Conrad 35 percent to 27 percent. The poll has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
"Your margin of error puts them at almost a dead heat," said Patricia Duffy, president of PMR.
The telephone survey, conducted from Aug. 26 to Sept. 3, asked 605 North Dakota residents if they would vote for Hoeven, Conrad or someone else. It found 27 percent were undecided, 7 percent said they would vote for someone else, and 2 percent would not vote. |
