Another interesting note about the poll is regarding the favorability sections: while [[independent voters]] disapprove of [[Donald Trump]] by a net of 14%, they also disapprove of Biden by 15%, disapprove of Sen. Smith by a net of 4%, disapprove of [[Amy Klobuchar]] by a net of 11%, and overall ''approve'' of Lewis by a net of 6%.

Given how the poll was skewed to the left and the Democrat leads that shrunk massively after weighing properly, it likely signals that [[Minnesota]] is more likely to favor Republicans in the 2020 general elections than many may expect. It's also important to note that while exit polls from previous elections may more accurately be used as a model for the 2020 elections, it's most likely not a perfect measure, as the 2020 turnout rates by party ''will'' be different from previous cycles. Furthermore, given the poll to likely favor [[Democrats]] due to the involvement of [[Daily Kos]], Republicans may potentially win over independent voters by a handy margin and win the state of [[Minnesota]] for the presidential and Senate races, despite the insistence otherwise by increasingly unreliable "experts".

It's also important to note that while exit polls from previous elections may more accurately be used as a model for the 2020 elections, it's most likely not a perfect measure, as the 2020 turnout rates by party ''will'' be different from previous cycles in certain respects. Furthermore, given the poll to likely favor [[Democrats]] due to the involvement of [[Daily Kos]], the independent voters sample may be skewed to the left. This means that in actuality, Republicans may potentially win over independent voters by a handy margin and win the state of [[Minnesota]] for the presidential and Senate races, despite the insistence otherwise by increasingly unreliable "experts". Lastly, an important is that regarding urban areas of the state such as [[Minneapolis]] where [[DFL riots|far-left riots]] have occurred, more people may be inclined to vote Republican due to the Democrats' support for radical measures such as [[defunding the police]].
