DFL Senate candidate Al Franken's recently-publicized tax troubles appear to be making an impression with Minnesotans, according to a new poll.

A poll conducted last week by SurveyUSA for television station KSTP found that 59 percent of adults in the state said they would be less likely to vote for Franken in light of his failure to pay more than $50,000 in income taxes to 17 states. Thirty-nine percent said it would make no difference or would make them more likely to vote for him. I report,U decide.
