Biden touts Trump and said Harris would be ‘good choice’ for VP pick Kamala Harris: The conventional (and predictable) choice is MUCH MORE in Minnesota, according to a new Emerson College poll released Tuesday that shows the rising GOP adherence is down by just 3 points in a state that Democrats have carried for decades.

The poll shows Biden with 50 percent of the vote in Minnesota, while Trump runs with 47 percent, within the poll margin of 3.6 percentage points of error.

Several other recent polls in Minnesota show Biden having a much broader lead. A Fox News poll released last month put the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee 13 points ahead, while another of the left-leaning Public Policy polls found Biden with a 10-point advantage over Trump.

However, the latest Emerson poll suggests that the North Star could be in play for Trump and Republicans this year, and increase the chances of a referendum for Democrats in a state they have run in every presidential election since 1976.

There are still signs of problems for Trump in Minnesota. His approval rating is underwater at 46 percent approval to 51 percent disapproval, although he performs somewhat better among independent voters at 45 percent to 47 percent.

At the same time, Biden has a wide advantage among voters who plan to throw their ballots by mail – a metric that could prove important in an election that is expected to be affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Thirty-one percent of those who said they plan to vote by post expect to vote for Biden, while 68 percent of those who plan to vote personally for Trump return.

The poll also suggests that most voters have already made up their minds about who to vote for. Only 3 percent of respondents said they have not yet decided on the presidential race, leaving both candidates with limited opportunities to expand their support in Minnesota.

Although this is within the margin of error of the polls, more voters are once again in the race for the First Chamber. Seven percent said they have not yet made up their minds.

The Emerson College poll surveyed 733 likely registered Minnesota voters from August 8-10. It has a margin of sampling error of 3.6 percentage points.
