SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Sept. 26, 2004 — Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle holds a narrow lead over Republican challenger John Thune in the race for his Senate seat, according to a poll released Sunday.

The Democratic incumbent had 50 percent support to Thune's 45 percent, according to the poll sponsored by the Sioux Falls Argus Leader and KELO-TV of Sioux Falls.

"It's basically still a tossup," said Christopher Maynard, assistant professor of history and political science at Dakota State University.

The statewide poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. It surveyed 800 likely voters by telephone Monday through Wednesday last week

1. Go Daschle!

Beat that punk Thune twice in a row, so the next time the Illinois Republicans need a carpetbagger, they'll know right where to find him.
