AP VoteCast: Minnesota voters sour on state of nation
Associated PressVoters in Minnesota gave Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden its 10 electoral votes while holding negative views about the country’s direction, according to an expansive AP survey of the American electorate. AP VoteCast found that nearly 4 in 10 Minnesota voters said the U.S. is on the right track and 6 in 10 said it is headed in the wrong direction. “He doesn’t have leadership,” Both voters in cities and suburban voters were more likely to back Biden over Trump while voters in small towns and rural areas were more likely to prefer Trump. STAYING AT HOME Among registered voters who chose not to cast a ballot in Minnesota, about one-quarter said that was because they don’t like politics generally, 2 in 10 said they don’t like the candidates and 1 in 10 said they don’t know enough about the candidates’ positions.
