New poll shows close race for U.S. Senate Race in North Dakota

An exclusive statewide poll by Valley News Live and Mason-Dixon Polling shows, that not even a week after North Dakota's primary, the race for the U.S. Senate is tightening. The statewide poll shows Kevin Cramer only holds a 4% lead over incumbent Heidi Heitkamp...that's within the poll's margin of error. Valley News Live commissioned the poll through Mason-Dixon Polling. 625 voters in North Dakota were interviewed by phone for the poll.

When you look at the overall state, the Senate race shows Kevin Cramer with 48%, Heidi Heitkamp with 44% and 8% were undecided.

In Eastern North Dakota, you'll notice that Cramer's support starts to drop. He has 44%, Heitkamp at 47% with 9% undecided.

The numbers really show support for the incumbent Heitkamp, when you look closer at just Fargo and Cass County. Heitcamp with 54%, Cramer at just 35% and 11% undecided.

In Bismarck-Mandan, Cramer rebounds with 56%, Heitkamp 37% with 7% undecided.

Western North Dakota mirrors the support for Kevin Cramer. He's at 57%, Heitkamp 38% with 10% undecided.
