There have been a handful of other polls all showing Klobuchar leading by similarly underwhelming margins. Seems like she's on the same trajectory as Chuck Schumer, who also used to win dominating bipartisan majorities but now doing little better than the typical partisan advantage of her state in a given cycle. Late-stage polarization rearing its ugly head.
I anticipated her rural support would be gone but figured she'd still manage a 20-point win based on her domination in the metro area with places like Scott and Carver counties onboard.
That's underestimating Klobuchar, which makes me think the poll as a whole is a bit too R-heavy.

I'm guessing her rural support dried up just like everywhere else, this is where we are in 2024.

Klobuchar's crossover support is disappearing the same way Grassley's crossover support disappeared.
It'll be interesting to see what the actual election results are. I'll look forward to your analysis of them.
