Poll: Biden holds 6-point lead over Trump in Minnesota
KARE 11 - NBC TV Affiliate in Minneapolis-St. Paul ^ | 9/26/20 | Emily Haavick - Staff Reporter

Posted on 09/26/2020 9:15:02 PM PDT by MplsSteve

Former Vice President Joe Biden has a 6% lead over incumbent President Donald Trump in Minnesota, a new KARE 11/MPR News/Star Tribune Minnesota Poll demonstrates.

The poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, Inc., surveyed Minnesotans who said they were likely to vote in November.

When asked who they would vote for if the 2020 presidential election were held today, 48% of Minnesota voters said Biden while 42% chose Trump. Two percent chose other candidates and 8% were undecided.

Besides political party, urban and rural areas marked the widest disparity. While 70% of Hennepin and Ramsey County residents support Biden, Trump polled at 48% in the metro suburbs compared to Biden's 41%. Trump held a larger lead in southern and northern Minnesota with 53% and 54% respectively, compared to 36% for Biden in both.

Men were more likely to support Trump, with 48% compared to 36% of women. Woman likewise supposed Biden at 52% compared to 44% of men.

I see one Trump ad for every 10 Hiden ads across many channels and devices.

And hillary held 14 point ‘leads’...we know all about the propaganda, folks.

Just go and vote but buy weapons and ammo too. You will need them regardless of the outcome.

My daughter was on Catalina this weekend and she was amazed at all of the Trump flags flying on boats in the harbor.

Highly Influenced, definitely yes. But possessed, no.

Here is a rule of thumb for polls. Subtract 4 from the Dem.

In this case applying this rule Trump is polling 2 points down, but we still have plenty of time to go.

And of course turnout changes everything.

Stein had 1.26% in MN in 2016, so adding her to Hillary is around 47.7%. My point remains. I see no way to indicate that Biden is under-performing nationally based on this one poll.

I’m in west metro Twin Cities. I watch Fox9 once in awhile. 50/50 Trump Biden ads.

Suburbs 55/45 to Biden??!! It’s more like 80/20 for Trump.

Get out of downtown St. Paul. The real world is not as sad as you picture it. You are a pessimist.

That’s my read. It’d take a lot of internal state problems to knock a Democrat below 50% in MN who was leading elsewhere in the country.

Normally, “undecided” using works against an incumbent. But with a Trump, I think a lot of undecided are people who won’t tell pollsters that they’re for Trump.

Sure he is. The State animal is a gopher so why wouldn’t they support a groundhog? There will be no polls showing Trump ahead except Rasmussen Trafalgar and Democracy Institute until the final poll on November 3rd. Pay no attention to the rest as they are propaganda designed to suppress our enthusiasm not polls.
Enthusiasm wins elections. We have it. They don’t.

I live in Ramsey county, it is reliably Dem. Same goes for Hennepin county. These two counties encompass Minneapolis/St. Paul; so yeah, it’s no wonder MN is the only state Reagan didn’t sweep.

Pretty frustrating really, it feels like my vote doesn’t count.

Trump is holding a rally in Duluth on Wednesday, his 2nd in the last two weeks. Also, Pence, Lara Trump, Ivanka and Don Jr have all been in MN as well. At least 6 Iron Range Democrat mayors have endorsed him, and the police have withdrawn their support for some democrat candidates. The campaign is spending a lot of time here so they must have polls that show it is winnable.

My family is up in rural Minnesota, but unfortunately watch the garbage news out of Minneapolis. KARE-11 is PRAVDA for the left up there. Don’t believe anything they say or do.

the Mpls Star & Tribune usually oversample demonrats by 20-25% and undercut republican results by 10-15%. I never trust polls since they skew the questions to their goal in answers. As soon as you identify as republican or conservative they kick you out of their survey or poll.

Minnesota voters must be as brain damaged as Joe Biden.

Minneapolis deserved to burn.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

2016: Clinton 46.44 % Trump 44.92 %

I expect Minnesota to be close, and not 48-42 Biden. For one thing, I don't think Trump lost 3% that voted for him in 2016, and expect new voters' (college especially) to be down due to Covid-19 college closings. The protests, looting, and riots in urban areas are also a factor.

The most relevant question to ask the respondents who were included in this poll is who they voted for in ‘16 and who they are voting for in ‘20.

Pollsters tend to get the results they want to get - either by choosing area codes before setting up their “random dialing” or by the way the questions are presented. Never believe an NBC poll.
