Incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has seen her lead in Minnesota cut in half since she chose Minnesota Governor Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz as her running mate.
In July, shortly after Kamala's coup led to Joe Biden being eliminated from the presidential race, she held a 10-point lead over former President Trump. KTSP/SurveyUSA vote Kamala won handily with 50 percent approval, compared to Trump's 40 percent.
A lot has happened since the poll took place July 23-25. Specifically, she picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, and she enjoyed a four-day campaign stint known as the convention, which was promoted with billions of dollars of free advertising from the corporate media.

The same KTSP/SurveyUSA poll, conducted after the convention on Aug. 27-29, showed Kamala leading by just five points. She had 48 percent approval among those under 50, while Trump had 43 percent:
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz kicked off their running mates, was viewed by many as a success, but the latest KSTP/SurveyUSA poll shows Harris' lead in Minnesota has been cut in half from a month ago.
According to our poll, Harris currently leads Republican Donald Trump by five points (48% to 43%), with 4% preferring another candidate and 5% undecided. Harris, who first appeared in the poll last month as a Democratic presidential candidate, held a 10-point lead, 50% to 40%.

If Minnesota and Virginia become crucial states, which seems likely, Harris would have to draw a perfect inside straight flush to win in November, but Trump has every path forward.
