In June 2010 Koster's campaign manager cited a poll of 784 respondents conducted for Koster's campaign, in which Koster led Larsen by around 53 percent to 47 percent; however he did not provide a hard copy of the results, which Larsen's campaign manager said were inaccurate. In a poll conducted in August and September 2010 by SurveyUSA, with a sample size of 612 likely voters, 50 percent of respondents supported Koster while 46 percent favored Larsen and 4 percent were undecided. In a SurveyUSA poll of 576 likely voters conducted later in September 2010, Larsen led with 50 percent to Koster's 47 percent, and 3 percent were undecided. In SurveyUSA's final poll of 643 likely and actual voters, conducted in October 2010, Larsen led with 50 percent to Koster's 46 percent, and 3 percent were undecided.

Larsen was re-elected with 51 percent of the vote to Koster's 49 percent. After the initial count Koster led by less than 1,500 votes; however Larsen took the lead on November 3 and was later declared the winner. Larsen was again re-elected in 2012 and in 2014, while Koster unsuccessfully ran in the redrawn 1st district in the 2012 election.
