Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight lead over former President Donald Trump among likely Minnesota voters, according to a new poll released six weeks before Election Day.

The Minnesota Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE 11 Minnesota Poll found Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz with a 48% to 43% lead over Trump and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Seven percent of respondents said they remain undecided, while fewer than 2% of those polled said they would vote for a third-party candidate.

The poll’s findings are based on interviews with 800 likely Minnesota voters, conducted Sept. 16-18. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The last Minnesota Poll in June — before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race — showed Biden with a narrower four-point lead over Trump, 45% to 41%.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

For those of you acquainted with Minnesota politics, the Minneapolis StarTribune is hard left. Their reporters and editorial staff are nothing more than glorified Dem activists with Journalism degrees.

But their poll does not seem to be far off another I recently saw. I'll be the first to admit that I did read the whole article - but didn't peruse the cross-tabs.

This race is winnable. Trump needs to perform better in the suburbs - counties like Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver and Anoka.

I totally get it that the campaign has bigger fish to fry (Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc) but a trip to Minnesota wouldn't be bad. Fly into Rochester (home of the Mayo Clinic and a kinda purplish area) and hold a rally. Rochester's media market extends into western Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

What was the differential last time at this point vs the final?

This polling reporting is maddening without context.

If Florida goes to Harris then there will be no doubt that there was massive election fraud there.

“800 likely Minnesota voters, conducted Sept. 16-18. The poll’s margin of error...”

800 likely voters?
How many welfare Somalis?
