    If Minnesota is within 5, the Blue Wall States are probably looking pretty good for Trump. This is the third straight poll of Minnesota that has been Harris +5. If those 7% Undecideds break heavily for Trump, Minnesota could get interesting.

    If these Minnesota polls are correct, it doesn’t appear that Walz is even helping in his home State, let alone in WI, MI, and PA. Not picking Shapiro might turn out to be the biggest blunder of the entire election.

    Key Insights:

    • This race is not expected to be competitive, with Vice President Harris likely securing a decisive victory in Michigan.

    • She is anticipated to gain substantial support from the Muslim communities in Dearborn, Hamtramck, Detroit, Southgate, and Ann Arbor.

    • The strong support for Vice President Harris will likely be fueled by civil rights issues, including racial inequality, police reform, voting rights, economic inequality, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental justice (particularly concerning industrial pollution and access to clean water), housing discrimination, immigration rights, disability rights, and education equity.

    • Despite some dissatisfaction with the Democratic leadership in Michigan, voters see the Democrats as the favorable choice, especially in light of President Trump’s polarizing presence. There seems to be little chance of a Trump victory in the state. It would be advisable for his campaign to allocate resources to more competitive states.

    It will be an honor to attend the SOLD OUT 79th ANNUAL AL SMITH DINNER on October 17th in New York. It will be great to see so many wonderful people there, including Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan. We know the Spirit of Al Smith, the first Catholic Nominee of a Major Party, and John F. Kennedy, the FIRST Catholic President, will be in the room with us that night. It was a virtual event in 2020, and I was delighted to speak to our Catholic friends that day and, of course, it was a HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL evening in 2016 when we were there in person with Crooked Hillary Clinton. The reviews of my remarks were TREMENDOUS. It’s sad, but not surprising, that Kamala has decided not to attend. I don’t know what she has against our Catholic friends, but it must be a lot, because she certainly hasn’t been very nice to them, in fact, Catholics are literally being persecuted by this Administration. Any Catholic that votes for Comrade Kamala Harris should have their head examined….
