Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) is slipping behind independent Greg Orman in the Kansas Senate race, according to a new Fox News poll released Saturday.

Fox News gave Orman a small lead over Roberts, 44 percent to 43 percent. That’s a significant reversal from the pollster’s last survey of the race in early October, which showed Roberts with a 5-point lead, 44 percent to 39 percent.

The poll, conducted from Oct. 28-30, surveyed 907 likely voters. Its margin of error is 3 points.

Most polling has suggested a neck-and-neck race in Kansas heading into Election Day. According to TPM’s PollTracker average, Orman is currently up, 44.3 percent to Roberts’ 42 percent.
