The Wall Street Phenomenon Which May Explain Why So Few Trump Voters Intend to Jump Ship if Former President is Convicted ...

No Change Month-on-Month in North Star State, as Biden Maintains 2-Point Edge vs. Trump and Klobuchar Holds Double-Digit Lead on Fraser:

It's a lesson many amateur investors learn the hard way: you expect a stock price to change dramatically once a long-anticipated piece of news finally breaks — the FDA votes to approve or to not approve a new medication, a new product or new lawsuit is announced — and instead, nothing happens. Why not? Because the news was already "priced in," in Wall Street Terms — bigger investors fully expected the news and were already buying and selling the stock at a price that already factored in the story you were waiting for.

That same concept may explain why 88% of Minnesotans planning to vote for Donald Trump this November say they'll still vote for him if he's found guilty in the "hush money" trial currently taking place in New York City, according to SurveyUSA's latest exclusive tracking poll for KSTP-TV Minneapolis, KAAL-TV Rochester, and WDIO-TV Duluth. 5% of his voters say they'll switch and vote for someone from another party; 6% aren't sure what they'll do; fewer than 1% each say they'll vote for Joe Biden or not vote at all. In SurveyUSA's estimation, 88% of Trump voters have already "priced in" a potential conviction in this case, and are comfortable voting for the former President regardless of what the jury decides.

Overall, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are right where we left them one month ago, with Biden at 44%, Trump at 42%. 9% say they'll vote for a candidate from another party; 5% are undecided. Trump leads by 8 points among men (down from 10 points last month); Biden leads by 13 points among women (down from 15 points last month); combined, that's a 21-point gender gap. Biden continues to hold a strong lead among seniors, typically the most reliable voters, and has gained ground among the youngest and typically least reliable voters – movement that is offset by Trump gains among 35 to 49-year-old and 50 to 64-year-old voters. 87% of Republicans vote for Trump; 88% of Democrats vote for Biden; both these numbers are essentially unchanged across four SurveyUSA tracking polls this year. Among independents, who make up more than 1 in 5 likely November voters, Trump and Biden are tied at 36% each, with 20% saying they plan to vote for a third party candidate and 8% undecided.

Democratic Incumbent US Senator Amy Klobuchar leads Republican Navy vet and banker Joe Fraser by 14 points today in her bid for a fourth term, down slightly from a 17-point lead last month, defeating him 48% to 34% in a hypothetical matchup today, with 5% looking to another candidate and 12% undecided. Klobuchar leads among men and women, among both young and old voters, and by 24 points in the Twin Cities area, 10 points in Northeastern Minnesota, and by 5 points in the southern part of the state. Fraser leads by 20 points in Western Minnesota.

Republicans today increase their edge in generic state house balloting today, with 45% of likely voters saying they are generally more inclined to vote for a Republican, 43% for a Democrat; one month ago, Democrats were a nominal point stronger, at 44%. Before that, in January and February, Democrats had the advantage, leading first by 3, then by 5 points.
