MN Star Tribune/MPR/KARE poll: Biden +5

[Progressive Pessimist]

Let's have some perspective here and remember that Clinton barely won here, and the state tends to be more Republican during presidential years. Biden being up five points here really isn't that bad. I'm certain that the Democrats' floor with the Twin Cities and their suburbs will hold up. It's a bit like Nevada in that respect. Minnesota's Democratic voting streak isn't ending yet, though it may very well go back to voting to Michigan's right, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens this year.

Of course, if I were Collin Peterson, perhaps I'd be a tad worried.

Ignore me at your. own risk but Minnesota is very much in play, particularly after the events of the last few days.

National polls from the last few days do not support this notion. But I guess we'll see the next time there is a Minnesota poll.

I could imagine a world in which what's going on is that Biden has taken a hit in the Upper Midwest but has suddenly opened up a lead in places like Georgia. I'm not at all convinced of that, but it is possible.

Maybe, but if Biden really is leading how he seems to be in these polls I don't see any way for him to lose a Clinton state like Minnesota.
