Trafalgar Group Poll: Minnesota All Tied Up at 47%

The poll is here. Biden 46.9%, Trump 46.5%.

In the state that gave us the George Floyd Nightly Riots.

Meanwhile, 538.com frets that support for police is rising, especially among whites, who are, of course, the biggest racial slice of the country.

Drawing on data from the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape’s weekly tracking surveys, I found that unfavorable views of the police are trending back down toward their pre-protest levels among white Americans and have dipped among Black Americans. White respondents are also becoming somewhat less likely to say that African Americans face "a lot" or "a great deal" of discrimination, though those numbers remain higher than they were before before George Floyd was killed in May. Black Americans' views on the discrimination they face have remained essentially unchanged.

I would imagine that seeing blacks parading through white neighborhoods with drums and horns at 2am telling whites "No justice, no sleep" and demanding they give their homes to black people is undermining Black Lives Matter's claim that black people are just absolutely terrified of police.

If you're marching through white neighborhoods threatening violence and demanding that whites give you their houses, that tends to suggest you're not the Oppressed hounded by the state, but instead the Oppressor given carte blanche license by the state.

That in turn may contribute to whites' declining estimation of how much racism blacks face.

You can't claim "We're totally repressed" as you march like an invading army through white neighborhoods telling them they are not allowed to sleep and must give their houses to you.
