Tim Walz is actually hurting Kamala Harris in his home state of Minnesota, new 2024 poll suggests
NY Post ^ | 9/01/24 | A.G. Gancarski

Kamala Harris’ bet on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has actually lost her ground in his home state.

That’s the takeaway from new polling of 635 Likely Voters from Minnesota’s KSTP, which found that the Democratic presidential nominee’s advantage over Donald Trump has been cut in half since she picked Walz as her running mate last month and showcased the ticket at the Democratic National Convention.

Harris now leads Trump 48% to 43%, a significant decline for her from the previous survey that showed her up 50% to 40%.

The opposite of a post-convention bump that normally would have been expected.

This is particularly remarkable given that this was a poll that included more Democrats than Republican respondents — with Dems making up 40% of the sample, Republicans 35%, and independents the remainder.

And the poll data suggests Walz is the one costing Harris support.

Only 52% of Minnesota voters see him as an excellent or good choice, with 12% saying he’s a fair selection, and a staggering 34% saying he’s a poor pick.

Walz is underwater with men, with 49% approving of his selection and 50% opposing it. About 40% of male respondents called him a poor choice running mate.

Voters under the age of 35, a key demographic Harris needs in November, also aren’t enthusiastic. 49% called Walz an excellent or good pick; the other 51% regarded him unfavorably. These voters make up 25% of the anticipated November electorate.

Those who know Tampon Tim best—like his brother—are in the best positions to know just how fearful the rest of us should be of his being “just a heartbeat away from the US Presidency.”

What? Not up by 1000?

Odd. Somebody in the total fabrication department is getting sacked.

Good. When Harris/Walz lose, Minnesotans can have him all to themselves.

If Minnesota becomes “in play”, then it might put “the steal” out of reach.

Harris got no post convention bounce in the polls, and as bad a VP choice that Walz is, the bottom line is the top of the Democrat ticket is the one bringing the poll numbers down.

Tim Walz: the better you know him, the less you like him.

If Harris is leading against Trump how is Walz hurting the ticket?

This article makes no sense.

Kamala Harris’ bet on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has actually lost her ground in his home state.

The blue counties that went for Walz are also going to be, some of them, the places most affected by the BLM/antifag temper-tantrums. Burning buildings, shuttered business, all that good stuff.

I watched Kristie Noem, Governor of South Dakota a couple hours ago on FOX. She said Western Minnesota wants to leave Minnesota and join South Dakota! LOL!
