Polling outfit Decision Desk HQ released some stunning numbers Friday, showing Donald Trump ever so slightly ahead in two blue states that went for Biden in the last election, which could spell doom for the president’s reelection if they turn on him in November. The survey showed Trump up an ever-so-teeny 0.2 percent in Virginia and an absolutely eye-opening 1.6 percent in Minnesota.
The Gopher State's numbers are not stunning because the former president is so far ahead—1.6 percent is a small margin—but because he's even close in a state that Biden won by seven last time around. It’s got to be a good sign for the Trump campaign—and an ominous one for the Biden team—that Trump is even competitive in the deep-blue state where the George Floyd/BLM riots originated.

The polls are skewed, so if he’s leading it’s by a lot more. But only one poll counts. All the others might as well have half-naked dancers gyrating on them.
I hope they stick to that plan. I think chances are good because Muslims stick w/their game plan no matter the consequences.
Trump’s lead in Minnesota will need to be substantial to overcome the vote fraud in Hennepin, Ramsey, Lake, and Olmsted Counties. The rest of the state is red and honest. A few percentage points will not be enough in the real world.
Correct. They don't give a d*** regarding the short term consequences. In fact, they'll prefer that Biden loses this time. Then the Democrats will be forced to pander to them after this election.
Minnesota makes sense... lots of hard working people who value fairness... That’s the group democrats have dumped on...
Except MN has a Soros Secretary of State (who counts the votes), and a Muslim Attorney General who’ll make sure the “correct” candidate wins and whose victory won’t be challenged.
Well, in that case you’re most likely fight. It doesn’t matter what the polls say when democrats have the fix in...
Rather than flushing millions of dollars down the toilet for TV ads that frankly make the drive-by media rich, why not go all out hiring sophisticated harvesters in swing states? We need to play hardball to save our Nation.
Don’t forget St Cloud.
muzzy central around there.
Trying to push Biden to the side.
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ungodly tired of the depressing, pessimistic responses everybody gives to everything here. It’s beyond unhealthy. It’s also a sure loser.
It isn’t that yall aren’t 100% correct that nowhere near enough has been done to bolster election laws that prevent vote fraud. It also isn’t that you are right to be skeptical of putting faith in opinion polls when vote totals are the actual final word. It isn’t that you aren’t correct that our side has to unfairly compete & get out It’s messaging in a lopsided media environment biased towards the left. I also completely get the irritation with our side not showing up overwhelmingly as expected I’m the last couple of elections. Believe me, I also get that our side has to contend with not only fighting the left, but also establishment dissenters from the right, suburban women going flimsy, academic totalitarians, Hollywood carpetbombing & our coalitions infighting.i get it! I’m not wanting rose colored glasses- that never helps, it hinders!
What I cannot take is the blanket of negativity thrown over everything, taking any decent news & running it down, the posture of a predetermined angry loser & listening to a lot of folks complain but not actually doing much to change things. In our best times of domination electorally, we were led with a spirit of fight, but also lucky optimism. How do you expect to win over undecided voters (which we need to win) by constantly broadcasting your lack of faith in your movement or its ability to win & overcome anything thrown at it.
Your entire negative demeanor- whether you realize it or not- is probably the main element causing our recent losses. Even more than vote fraud, our collective bad mood is defeating us. I’ve been watching this take over since around 2018. I’ve spent my life running campaigns & have a lot of experience with what brings wins & what doesn’t. We are driving down our own vote. The more you broadcast the negativity & cast yourself as a victim of this or that- the more votes you chase away. Of course we should be reinforcing voting laws, etc., but my suspicion is we could do all of that & likely lose a legitimate vote too because of what we are projecting.
I’ve always expected victimology out of Democrat voters & political correctness & identity politics. I never thought I’d see conservatives starting to take part in victim culture. It’s not a good look on us. It’s not what we are based on. We are losing because of it. If things don’t change soon & fast, I’m going to abandon ship because I’m in it to win it & want to work towards victory. I’m not staying indefinitely tied to a Bloc that doesn’t know how to fake it til they make it & spends more time complaining than winning! 🤔🫣🙄😏😉
why in the world would this suppress enthusiasm? You are making zero sense.
If they start talking about CA or NY, I’ll give this polling/report some credence.
people just dont understand just how FAR ahead Trump is!
At this exact point in time in 2020 Biden was ahead by 8.4 points!
Now Trump is ahead by about a point nationally according to RCP average of all polls.
That is a 9 point swing towards Trump since 2020! And remember even with his big lead in the polls Biden STILL almost lost.
Because good Trump polls will lead some people... LAZY people ... to figure Trump has enough of a lead that their vote isn't necessary. Enough of *those* types stay home and Trump comes up short.
Red Eagle Politics had a video on both states. I think Virginia and Minnesota could flip, however we need to make sure no cheating will happen.
Looks like they are cueing up Kamala Harris as the swap-in.
But, but, but Mondale was not ever a President.
Yeah, that’s how the dem machine works. Kamala will get her chance before Newscum. She was in Ukraine today. They are trying to make her look more presidential. Biden’s meds aren’t working anymore. He’s reached that point. Maybe even having small TIAs. Sometimes his face looks frozen, his speech is slurred and he momentarily blanks out.
