The former vice president leads Trump 48 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll of 625 likely voters, which was conducted between October 16 and 20 and has a margin of error of five points.
KSTP reported:
In 2016, President Trump narrowly lost the state’s ten Electoral College votes by 44,000 votes to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The state has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1972.Although Biden retains a lead in Minnesota, it has slipped just a bit since early September. On Sept. 9 his lead was 49% to 40% and on Oct. 10 his lead was 47% to 40%.
“The trend is important,” says Carleton College political analyst Steven Schier. “Trump has been improving.” . . .
“Four years ago Clinton was ahead by 10 points and ended up winning by 1.5%,” Schier says. “Biden is up by 6 points and I think Democrats have to be worried about that.”
