This is like a spoonful of medicine, isn’t it? Just don’t drool, eh?<\/p>\n
In mid-late September, a news story surfaced<\/a> in which Franken was accused of sexual assault way back in March. Des Moines police refused to file charges, calling the accusation unfounded. The Emerson College<\/strong><\/em> poll came a few days after that, and perhaps the news, even with Franken’s denial and the backing of the Des Moines police, led some voters to pick Grassley over Franken.<\/p>\n Then the one and only debate<\/a> between Grassley and Franken was held on October 6th, and the Selzer & Co<\/em><\/strong> poll occurred three days later.
