A new poll conducted by the Minneapolis Star Tribune shows that 64 percent of those responding say Norm Coleman should concede the Senate race he waged with Democrat Al Franken, who has been declared the winner by a three-judge panel.

Coleman, the one-term Republican senator whose term officially ended on Jan. 3, trails Franken by 312 votes. Following the panel's ruling, Coleman appealed to the state Supreme Court. The poll shows only 28 percent calling the appeal "appropriate."

Should Coleman win his appeal? Fifty-seven percent say Franken should then concede. And if the full court turns Coleman down? Seventy-three percent say he should give up.
