the hypothetical matchup between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is too close to call

PS in preparing this comment, I checked 270 to Win's interactive map. It's default settings reflect the average of recent polls and other information. And, shazam!, it shows enough of the battleground states have moved to Trump's column for him to win. Obviously, the map can change. Even so, regarding those other states, I'm going to quote Admiral Nimitz, I want that fourth carrier.

But, but, but... the Dems and their media are touting a new poll by Quinnipiac showing Biden trouncing Trump by 6 points nationally!
Oh Minnesotta is ABSOLUTELY a battleground state, just because the media is ignoring it doesn’t mean its not.
Trump came with 44,000 or so votes of winning the state in 16... I stated this repeatedly during that campaign that MN, could even manage to go Trump. It didn’t quite get there, but it got close.
This year, with the third parties very much back in play, and a Candidate with greater negatives that Hillary Clinton as the democrat candidate, anyone who thinks MN is a sure thing for the Dems is in denial.
Will it flip? I don’t know, but anyone, and I do mean ANYONE who thinks MN is safe for the Dems this cycle, assuming the contest does indeed wind up being Trump V Biden.. they are in denial or lying to themsleves.
The unpopularity of Biden, and the return of high profile 3rd party candidates, is going to absolutely make MN anything but a sure thing.
OH BOY!!!!!!
Isn’t Minnesota full of socialists?
BS,,,unless they cheat like heck...and I think they will
Omar’s district is more white than the national average. The stupid runs deep in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
The upper Mississippi valley has been drifting in our direction for some time. Iowa is no longer even considered a battleground state. Wisconsin has moved into battleground status. Minnesota is maybe a little behind the drift, but not so much. It maybe helped us, in 2016, that few people picked up on this. I don’t know how many others, in addition to you and me, have yet to figure it out.
I think this is highly unlikely.
GWB helped move MN even farther left with his Somali immigration plan.
Right now MN is farther left than Oregon.
Just wait until Haley has dropped out, it’ll be President Trump for the win.
Well, Minn. hasn’t voted for a Republican Presidential candidate in 52 years, so I’d say the odds of Trump winning are slim.
Dead heat in Minnesota is a 5 point loss for Trump factoring election shenanigans.
Today’s polls remind me of the book published a long time ago: “How to Lie with Statistics”.
Minnesota is as safe for Biden as California. Trump shouldn’t spend a penny trying to win the state. It’s as lost as it could be and the voting laws never been weakened significantly since 2016.
Okay Joe Biden sucks but he's running against Donald Trump (this time with baggage)
Minneapolis is.
Trump got more votes in MN in 2020, than Biden. The ballot count just happened to say otherwise.
The election in MN was stolen, just like many other states.
Minnesota elections are the most corrupt in the nation. Have been for decades. Magically precincts in the Minneapolis/ST Paul area turn out record votes for Democrats every election cycle
Bill Clinton not Bush
Post Black Hawk down a whole lot of Somalis were given “refugee” status by the Clinton regime starting in 1992
I heard the same stuff about the entire rust belt in 2016...
Biden is polling up 2-3 on average in MN now..

If you think that makes MN “Safe” for a democrat we have very very different definitions of “SAFE”.
Biden was polling up 9+ on the even of the 2020 election, and won by a little over 7.
November is a long way off, but a Democrat polling up 2-3 in a head to head race is not remotely SAFE... and head to head polling ignores completely the 3rd parties which were largely irrelevant in 2020.
We’ll see what November holds, but if you think MN is a lock for Dems, I think you may want to open your eyes a bit.
