The fact that Walker is only up by 1 against Trump makes you wonder how good were his numbers before the Trump surged.

Is it one of those things that they include in polls to see how much the top two are hated?

Also, 32% for Sanders is awesome.

No, there actually is a candidate by the name of "Deez Nuts" running for President.

Walker 1% ahead of Trump here, huh?  I wonder where things stand in Iowa.  IIRC, our last poll from Iowa had Trump leading big, but it was Gravis.  I'd like to see a better pollster give us another Iowa poll soon.

EDIT: Just looked it up.  The last non-Gravis poll of Iowa was NBC/Marist, which was July 14-21, and had Walker up 2 over Trump.  We need a new one!

Trump is leading among young people - more evidence that they're all trolling the pollsters?

I think that's jumping to conclusions.  Trump doing better among younger than older primary voters seems plausible to me since 1) low information voters are probably disproportionately young, and 2) younger voters are less likely to value experience.

If Clinton v. Sanders actually becomes competitive nationally, Sanders would crush it here of course for so many reasons.

One reason being that this is a caucus state.  Clinton seriously underperformed compared to the polls in caucus states back in 2008.

If Clinton vs. Sanders became competitive, Sanders would likely have the edge in low turnout caucuses, like MN and WA.  (Iowa's different because the turnout tends to be quite high by the standards of caucuses.)

Sanders at 32% in Minnesota? I wonder what he gets in Wisconsin, at the convention he nearly beat Clinton in the Straw Poll so it is possible he is at 35% to 40% there.

I have taken part in two Minnesota presidential caucuses. They are caucuses in name only. They are basically just primaries where some people choose to hang around until the votes are counted. Clinton does poorly in Minnesota because Minnesota Democrats are very liberal, not because it's a caucus state.

I understand that the process isn't very caucus-like, but don't the MN caucuses tend to have turnout which is lower than most primary states, and more similar to what you see in caucus states?  Clinton did underperform her pre-election polling in caucus states, including Minnesota, back in 2008, and I'm assuming that part of the reason is that turnout in caucus states is so low, making the polling less reliable.

Just look at the vote totals and you can see that it's not a caucus. In the 2008 Iowa caucus, Obama's winning total was 940. In the 2008 Minnesota "caucus", it was 142,109. The later is obviously based on individual votes not precincts or state delegates.

Minnesota does appear to have much lower turnout than some other states, Wisconsin for example. Wisconsin had about a million votes in the 2008 primary while Minnesota had only about 200,000.

I have no idea why that is.

I just have vivid memories of Hillary apologists in 2008 blaming her loss in Minnesota on it being a caucus and I was like "lol no".

I understand that the procedure is more like a primary than a caucus.  But the turnout is still more caucus-like, as far as I can tell.  Yes, the Iowa caucus #s are state delegates rather than votes.  The actual turnout for Iowa caucuses is actually pretty high, by the standards of caucuses (presumably because Iowa is first and it gets tons of media attention).  That's why the polls there are actually not that bad.  But the polls in other caucus states are usually pretty terrible, and I think it's largely because the turnout is terrible.  It's hard to model turnout when the universe of likely caucus-goers is such a small %age of the total adult population.

Perhaps the debate has changed this in favor of Trump. The Walker's performance did not seem a good performance.

214,000 voted in the MN caucus in 2008. An estimated 239,000 voted in the Iowa caucus and Iowa has about 3/5 the population of MN. My conclusion, MN is a low-turnout state with the caucus electorate dominated by the liberal base, hence why it went for Obama by such large margins in 2008 and why she will lose it in 2016.

Why does it have a caucus electorate even though it doesn't have a caucus system though? Most people stand in line, cast their vote, then leave, just like any other election.
