Minnesota poll shows Harris widening lead over Trump
Vice President Harris’s support in the state of Minnesota ticked up in polling versus her political rival, former President Trump, according to a new survey released on Thursday.
Harris had a 6-point lead over Trump, 50 percent to 44 percent, in the state while 4 percent were undecided and 2 percent preferred another presidential candidate, according to the latest KSTP/SurveyUSA poll. The vice president’s lead was outside the survey’s margin of error.
The Democratic nominee’s lead has slightly expanded since the last iteration of the poll. The August survey had Harris at 48 percent while the ex-president garnered 43 percent.
Harris’s vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) had stronger support in his home state than his counterpart, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the survey found.
Around 37 percent of respondents said Walz was an “excellent” choice, 13 percent said he was a “good” pick while another 37 percent said it was a “poor” selection. Only 16 percent of Minnesotans said Vance was an “excellent” pick while 41 percent stated it was a “poor” choice, according to the survey.
The vice president had a wide lead with women, 59 percent to Trump’s 35 percent. The ex-president has around a 12-point cushion among men in the North Star State.
The Democratic nominee had a similar lead over Trump in Minnesota in another state poll released a few days earlier. She got 48 percent support while Trump got 43 percent, according to a Minnesota Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE 11 Minnesota survey.
Nationally, Harris leads the former president by 4.1 percent, sitting at 49.9 percent to the ex-president’s 45.8 percent, according to the latest The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s aggregate of polls.
The KSTP/SurveyUSA poll was conducted from Sept. 23-26 among 800 Minnesotans. The margin of error was 4.3 percent.
