No Republican has won the state of Minnesota in a presidential election in over 50 years (1972). Even Ronald Reagan and his record breaking landslide elections lost Minnesota in both 1980 and 1984, mainly because the communist was the VP in 1980 and presidential candidate in 1984. Trump ALMOST won Minnesota in 2016, and now he is in a statistical tie with corrupt old Joe Biden. Biden leads by two, but the margin of error if 4.9%.
For our third poll in a row, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are locked in a statistical dead heat.

“When you have a 2-point race in a presidential year, you’ve got a competitive state,” Carleton College political analyst Steven Schier said. “One that both campaigns will probably pay attention to.”
Most pollsters and political pundits don’t consider Minnesota to be among the “battleground” states where the winner of the presidency could be determined. Those states are generally considered to be Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
