Senator Pat Roberts (R., Kan.) has closed the gap with independent candidate Greg Orman, according to a new poll in what has become one of the increasingly competitive races this cycle.

After polls showing Roberts trailing by as many as ten percentage points last week, a new CNN/ORC poll of likely voters in the Sunflower State finds Roberts leading Orman 49 percent to 48 percent. The survey finds both candidates above water with their favorable-unfavorable ratings.

Twenty-one percent of respondents said they may still change their minds on who to support between now and Election Day.

In the aftermath of now-former Democratic candidate Chad Taylor’s decision to withdraw from the race last month, Orman shot to the top of the polls, shifting the race from a safe Republican seat to suddenly competitive. In the following weeks, Roberts has aimed to cast Orman as the effective Democrat in the race, emphasizing his ties to President Obama and Harry Reid and raising questions about his vagueness on various issues.
