Minnesota Poll: Clinton keeps lead, but Trump gains
WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a narrowing lead over Republican Donald Trump among likely voters in the state, according to a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll.
Clinton leads Trump 44 percent to 38 percent in a poll of 625 registered Minnesota voters taken last week. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The poll reveals a Minnesota electorate that's facing the final stretch of an extraordinary presidential campaign deeply divided by gender and geography. While voters in the Twin Cities overwhelmingly favor Clinton, those in outlying suburban communities and outstate Minnesota give the edge to Trump. Meanwhile, women voters favor Clinton by a large margin, while men favor Trump.
The results also show that Clinton's lead has slimmed considerably in Minnesota since the spring, when a Star Tribune poll found Clinton leading by 13 percentage points. The poll signals particular trouble for Clinton in outstate Minnesota, where her slight lead in late April appears to have eroded completely. Other polls nationally over the past week suggest the race is tightening.
Minnesota voters continue to have deep distrust of Clinton and Trump, the poll shows. Clinton's trust level is lowest in outstate and suburban areas while Trump trails badly among younger voters and those who have lower incomes.
