According to the Secretary of State's website, as of 9:20 a.m. Thursday, Norm Coleman's margin over Al Franken has dropped to 437 votes in the nation's most closely watched U.S. Senate race.
At midnight last night, the margin stood at 441 votes. This morning's daily papers, using numbers from yesterday, gave Coleman a 477-vote lead (PiPress) and 475-vote margin (Strib).
The Strib notes that when Coleman "declared victory" Wednesday morning, his lead stood at 725 votes.
[Update: a half-hour after I filed this, the margin is back up to 439, so prepare for turbulence. Hat tip: Jason Barnett.]
