We’re putting states in play that have never been in play before. Thank you Gophers!
Republicans have viewed Minnesota as in play at least since 2000. In 2008 they held their convention here because they thought they could flip the state. FWIW my view has never changed, Republicans can definitely win Minnesota in the right year but when they eventually do it won't matter because they will be winning nationwide easily. I would still rate MN as likely Dem this year.
I appreciate the monthly polls by SUSA/KSTP even though I have my problems with both (SUSA is a mediocre pollster and KSTP is a right wing TV station owned by a big Republican donor) but I would like to see some other pollsters as well.
