In all fairness, the Minnesota Poll has not been particularly credible over the last few years. They tend to dramatically undersample Republicans. This poll is also reflective of registered voters only.
One thing you do see in the polling is the wide gulf between urban/suburban and rural Minnesota.
The article is worth reading.
Comments or opinions - anyone?
People get the government they deserve.
“Biden holds 6-point lead over Trump in Minnesota”
No way, not on election day.
Oh, wait - no, I don't....
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.

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.
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 At least 6 Iron Range Democrat mayors have endorsed him, and the police have withdrawn their support for some democrat candidates.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 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.
