Joe Biden's recent lead in Minnesota polls has remained consistently in the single digits. State Democrats are sounding the alarm that rural voters could put Minnesota in play in 2020.

"The Republican Party is kind of speaking to my heart more than the Democrats," Gretchen said.

"It's really sad to see that there's a potential of Minnesota going to be a red state," Pick lamented while sitting at a picnic table at a park in Aitkin. "It should be no surprise that people are just plain done with the, 'Oh no, we can't do anything here because we might hurt the environment,' and we're just not going to take it anymore," Lueck said.

State Rep. Dale Lueck represents Aitkin and the surrounding area. He says growing support for Republicans in rural Minnesota has a lot to do with economics and urban Democrats' environmentalism, which threatens new mining and fossil-fuel energy jobs.State Rep.

I bet Deb Ibanez would be the 1st to cry that kneeling during the anthem is disrespecting the flag but look how she treats it. It was not folded correctly but wadded up. The stars go to the left. F**king typical trump supporter hypocrisy.

Stop interviewing these 'disillusioned' or 'on the fence' people. They're Trump supporters. And guess what? There are non white rural voters too. Why don't they ever get interviewed?

Moral blindness

Anybody still supporting the infector in Chief is a complete idiot. He has literally killed thousands of Americans to protect his re-election bid...

NOT

Bunch of bitter angry people belong in the dustbin of history

Saw post that said saw ovee 250 trump signs and more firewood for sale signs than vote for Biden signs in Northern MN. So basically firewood is even beating Biden.

Biden's in no danger of losing Minnesota, but this is good clickbait. By the time Minnesota goes red, Arizona, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia and Florida will have gone blue. Throw in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania for the Republicans, and it's still a net gain for Dems.

JoeBiden should make the biggest ball of twine even bigger

Idiots

NPR never offers the possibility that Democrats should lose.

We drive through rural MN in August. It’s scary. I’ve never seen so many signs and flags. There is a larger story here. Money and people are leaving those areas. Of course they fee left behind and marginalized. tRump feeds on that. Who do they blame? Others.

Barnes_Law Is NPR actually a wing of the DNC? Recent polls suggest they always were!

Barnes_Law VP candidate Harris family owned slaves. Did not know that? True. That is how she got to where she is. Support for that is beyond. But you get the package deal. Dementia and slave.

The reddest red state of Alabama decided to vote for a good man. He was a Dem. Minnesota’s rural voters have watched tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, trade wars, and recovery bills send $$$ to rich donors. Maybe there is just a small chance they have had enough.

Yes because the Dems know the Republicans are right.

Wow people really r dumb silly humans

Bernie Sanders would win ❤️🔥

👎👎👎👎👎👎

I believe that most of the rural population sees through Trumps BS, but they do get caught up in the incessant fear mongering.

No one has enthusiasm for Biden. He is sick. Not capable of being Potus

I was born in a small town. It did not render me unable to process information. My rural homies: he is a New York real estate guy. He has never worked a day in his life. He does not understand nor respect you. If you are a veteran, he thinks you are a sucker. Do you really 4 more

Smart deplorables, go team

Barnes_Law How dare they

When I hear someone complaining about the mask mandate rule, makes me want to vomit while shout in their ear if they think wearing a seatbelt or putting their child in a child seat is dumb too?!

They should have at minimum a basic reading and comprehension test for all voters ... a tooth count wouldn’t hurt either

Joe Biden's lead is a FakePoll and everyone knows it. The Democrats have LOST Minnesota to rioting violence and idiotic Democrat policy to allow it. Six Democrat mayors in Minnesota endorse Trump for reelection

Rubes.

You burn down Minneapolis a and you’re surprised that Minnesota is in play. That’s adorable.

ya think? This is San Diego is relentlessly Blue California..

In too many ways, it feels like a repeat of the last election- This is the fight to save Democracy, and America- people need to stop acting like it's a serious election, and start treating it like it is. The last election(should Trump win.)

Biden's 'mental acuity' has diminished in the last 4 years, ex-WH stenographer says: 'He's lost a step'

Yeah, single digits as in NINE POINTS ...

Way to uncrumple and unfold your flags for the photo op Deb!

Worried about fake voter fraud but not about real pandemic.

Maybe the people of Minnesota can finally see the wolf in sheep’s clothing. DumpTrump

'Keep America Great' With greatness like 2020, I don't know if I could handle more greatness! 😹🐈🙀

I used to live in a rural area in Wisconsin. They had trump sign almost everywhere, and as I remember Minnesota rural area had the same situation in 2016

Barnes_Law Rural Minnesota doesn’t want all those Rioting Looting Arsonist Liberals in The Twin Cities coming to their towns.

White people who live in Min/StP suburbs are some of the most frightened ppl in the country.

The ones he will harm first

If ANY of these folks has stepped away from fox news for at least a day and tuned into ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, there is absolutely no reason to continue supporting the village idiot. They can't ALL be 'fake news' so there's another agenda. What?

Barnes_Law by all means, continue with the mask bullshit, GovTimWalz

The democrats should have come out hard against the riots early on. This was their mistake. If they lose, it is because they went soft on the neo-marxist/blm nonsense.

Barnes_Law Trump will easily win Minnesota, do you know why? I will give you a hint. Think riots and defunding the police.

Barnes_Law

American political parties need rebranding and reinventment. Requiring a three party majority. Subservient leadership in all parties would be preferred.

These people are colluding with this murderous incompetent man. What the heck is wrong with them? Covid has to be having an impact on them.

TrumpKnew

Barnes_Law Who in their right mind would vote for a pedophile with dementia. Oh, he is also a racist.

It will go into the double digits after Woodward's revelations.

TrumpKnew TrumpKnewAndDidNothing RepublicansKnew

Barnes_Law The polls are going to miss by an even wider margin this time around. This is all just astroturfing to provide cover for the “never concede until we can rig it” strategy.

Where is DNC outreach to Indigenous, Black and Brown communities? DNC leadership has only themselves to blame for this latest self-inflicted wound. Too much time around consultants, beltway punditry and lobbyists who’ve convinced them that expanding the base isn’t worth it!

Rural voters in MI will do the same. Trump signs everywhere.

We're getting tired of this kind of spin NPR.

Wpnder if they stand behind trump now that he admits he knew about the virus AND LET PEOPLE DIE

Congrats Gretchen! You got the attention you so crave. Now you can go back to burying your head in the sand. C’mon NPR! Enough of these stories.

Barnes_Law I’m sorry this is happening to you 😂😂😂

Honestly Minnesota, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Barnes_Law Defund NPR immediately!

did she rumple that flag into a ball when storing it instead of folding it properly? that is true disrespect for the flag

Barnes_Law Defund NPR —

Dear fellow rural Minnesotans, Trump doesn't care about you. At all. All the things a Minnesotan values directly contradict his policies. Enjoy the serenity of BWCA when it goes from one of the last untouched wildernesses in the lower 48 to giant pit mines. Cantfixstupid

It isn’t Democrat or Republican to not want angry mobs marching in your town destroying everything in sight. Crazy, I know.

All BS

Clinton won MN by less than 2%. Biden’s lead has consistently been higher than that. Other than Democrats always being worried about everything, what’s the basis for alarm?

His wife was there today!

Biden never said anything about his Antifa army and BLM violence until 3 months later, was wrong about when to stop flights from China by 3 weeks, lies about excepting fracking and tax credits equal to where the President has taxes now. Two face 2 different statements.

Wow, she JUST bought that tRump flag. Some supporter...

Wow! He’s a Con Man! He knows what you want to hear! Take one step back, then take good hard look at this Country! Then, decide!

Biden isn't listening. Once he fails in November it will be too late.

coz drugging and raping of kids isnt enough. These people are evil. They have evil in their heart.

That’s nothing new. All these crazy Trumpers have been brainwashed. Lack of education is the root cause. They will all come out to vote.

If you are going to display Old Glory, do it correctly. Union belongs uppermost and to the observer’s left.

why just rural voters? i can’t imagine decent city/suburban voters enjoy democrat riots.

Don’t believe the polls about Wisconsin. There are lots of Trump signs in the rural areas.

you think she could at least iron the flag...

GrabHerPussy! realDonaldTrump

Landslide incoming

Psst....it is in play. All you have to do is keep showing Biden vomiting senility all over the campaign for people to realize this is not who we want on the world stage or deciding domestic policy.

So much for “Minnesota Nice”

Wait. Shouldn't the story be that, while Trump won MN, Biden has ALMOST a double digit lead?

I guess there really are racists everywhere. I thought we had them all down here in the South. Nope.

Maybe not.... TrumpKnew
