Trump visited Minnesota on Monday and gave an impassioned speech to a live crowd.
He is making a play for the state in 2020 and new polling shows he has a chance to win the state.
The Hill reports:
Poll: Trump trails Biden by 3 points in Minnesota
President Trump is within striking distance of former Vice President Joe Biden in Minnesota, according to a new Emerson College poll released Tuesday that shows the GOP incumbent trailing by only 3 points in a state Democrats have carried for decades.
The survey shows Biden with 50 percent of the vote in Minnesota, while Trump trails with 47 percent, within the poll’s 3.6 percentage point margin of error.
Several other recent polls in Minnesota show Biden with a much wider lead. A Fox News poll released last month put the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee ahead by 13 points, while another from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling found Biden with a 10-point advantage over Trump.
Biden’s 3-point lead in the Emerson College poll, however, is still wider than former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s margin of victory in Minnesota in 2016, when she carried the state by a scant 1.5 percentage points.
