Minnesota, the state of Al Franken, Keith Ellison, Jesse Ventura and Walter Mondale hasn’t voted Republican for president since 1972. Now, according to the latest Gravis poll, Clinton and Trump are tied at 43% each. This comes on the heels of another poll showing just a 1 point race in Pennsylvania. Are these polls for real? Is Hillary Clinton collapsing this fast?

Three Breitbart/Gravis state polls of likely voters — Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina — demonstrate how close the presidential election between Democrat Hillary R. Clinton and her GOP rival Donald J. Trump has become just before the first presidential debate.
In Minnesota, Clinton and Trump are tied with each having 43 percent of the vote, said Doug Kaplan, the managing director of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based polling firm that executed the poll.Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell told Breitbart News: “Trump is closing everywhere and states that have not been in play are coming into play, like Minnesota.”
Caddell said those states that had been considered battleground states are not moving as fast, but all are inside the margin of error.
In the battleground states, the Clinton campaign has built the infrastructure and made the investments, so they have the ability to fight there what is becoming a national tide, he said.
