Another MN congressional poll that included Presidential numbers (couple days old).

Clinton 42%
Trump 35%
Johnson 13%
Stein 5%

Obama won MN-02 by 0.06%

Internal polls are generally better than public polls, yes (at least the ones that aren't high quality polls funded my major media companies).
Evidence? Smiley

Some internal polls from the parties have to be pretty accurate because the parties' entire reason for existence is to win
Can't see connection, actually. And, of course, it is not an evidence. If your internal polls is not showing you winning, you don't talk about them, because it will hurt you.

What is entire reason of most pollster firms?

There a numerous reasons to get internals out...

So Clinton's probably up 2-4 in this one?

Probably. If Trump is trailing in MN-02, MN-03 he is probably down double digits statewide.

Those MN-02 numbers look reasonable to me. Hillary likely has an even larger lead statewide, but if third party numbers keep holding up here they are going to prevent a blowout very much above 10%. She'll still win MN easily unless something crazy happens.

This is definitely a state where Johnson is pulling more support from her than Trump, and Stein will probably get above 1% too.

Publicly released internals are usually junk meant to set a narrative. The private ones are meant to be good, otherwise they wouldn't be hiring them.

As expected, this race will not even be remotely close.

I think the margin is too high, but fantasies about WI being a Trump/tipping point state are bonkers.

Internal ----> Trash

That being said, if Trump wins WI, he has already won the election.

Accept this one, and ignore the Wisconsin gold standard which shows Clinton only up by 3, yeah ok. *eyeroll*

Maybe a bit of a strawman I admit, but if I had to guess the reality is somewhere between this and the Marquette poll. Clinton up 7 or 8 seems reasonable considering her national margin.

This is an internal, and my rule for taking 5 points off the side releasing the internal holds true for Democrats too. Clinton +7 in WI makes a lot of sense

Of course it is, this thing is basically a Democrat push poll for a left-leaning group.

I think I'd take Marquette over "Global Strategy Group" any day of the week.

We have seen this sort of margin before in Wisconsin. Wisconsin usually closes hard for Democrats... Wisconsin will be at the most on the fringe of contention at any point from now until November.

Really strange that Trump seems to consistently be doing much, much worse in private GOP polling than he is in public polls.

The problem with internals is that you don't know which internal you are getting. The one based on the assumption of max turnout of the party that sanctioned the internal or the real number.

It's the probing of the "what if" factor that is generally the problem.

We have no idea of what the baseline assumptions are.
