Tim Walz Falls Behind Trump in Minnesota, Begins Losing Popularity Contest to Parking Meters and Unattended Snowbanks

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has achieved what many political analysts once considered impossible: becoming less popular in Minnesota than Donald Trump.

According to a new poll, Walz's approval rating has cratered to 39%, the lowest level of his six-year tenure, prompting state Democrats to launch an emergency investigation into whether reality itself has become a right-wing conspiracy.

The collapse comes as Minnesotans continue to grapple with the fallout from a massive fraud scandal that allegedly flourished under Walz's watch. Residents who once worried about potholes, taxes, and brutal winters now have the added burden of discovering that hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars apparently wandered off unsupervised.

The poll found that voters trust Republicans more than Democrats to address the fraud issue, a result that reportedly caused several MSNBC producers to faint dramatically onto antique fainting couches.

Conservatives were quick to note the political significance.

"Tim Walz has a lower approval rating than President Trump in deep blue Minnesota right now," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. "That’s how toxic the fraud has become for Democrats."

The Trump administration has spent the past year treating Minnesota like a crime scene, dispatching fraud investigators, conducting raids, and uncovering enough questionable activity to keep congressional committees employed for the next decade.

As if the fraud scandal weren't enough, Walz is also taking heat for the state's redesigned flag, which many Minnesotans reportedly regard with the same enthusiasm normally reserved for root canals and airline baggage fees.

The new banner, approved by a commission assembled by the Democratic legislature, has become a lightning rod for criticism. Opponents argue that the flag looks less like a proud symbol of Minnesota and more like a graphic that was accidentally approved after being generated three minutes before a deadline.

"Two issues that unite a majority of Minnesotans are the rejection of Tim Walz and his failed policies and our hatred for the Minnesota Somali state flag," Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer told Fox News Digital. "The flag is an embarrassment and good on the cities who are actively removing it from their city halls and communities."

Emmer continued to pour salt directly into the governor's political wounds.

"President Trump is more popular than Tim Walz in his home state because Minnesotans are sick and tired of Walz siding with illegal aliens and Somali fraudsters over his hardworking, taxpaying constituents."

He added, "The legacy of Tim Walz will be the fires that destroyed Minneapolis, the fraud that he allowed to be stolen under his watch, and his failures that have harmed our great state."

The polling numbers suggest fraud has become the defining issue of Walz's final months in office. His support has dropped ten points in a year, while approval among Republicans has fallen to a statistically remarkable 1%, a figure usually associated with telemarketers calling during dinner.

Republican State Senator Michael Holmstrom had perhaps the most optimistic outlook for the departing governor.

"America rejected Tim Walz in 2024," Holmstrom told Fox News Digital. "Now Minnesotans are following suit. The good news for Tim is that, now that his record is on full display, he could soon be the most popular guy in the jailhouse."

Meanwhile, Republican State Senator Mark Koran argued that Walz's troubles are entirely self-inflicted.

"He let his fraud crisis blow up and didn’t do anything to fix it while he was busy shoving all this radical stuff into state government," Koran said. "After years of extreme far-left ideology and policies that don’t help normal people, Minnesotans have had enough. His legacy is going to be the fraud crisis and desecrating the state flag. Minnesota is just tired of it."

At press time, Walz's staff was reportedly encouraged by one promising development: the governor still maintains a slight polling advantage over mosquitoes, though analysts warn that race remains within the margin of error

Trump: Blacks and Hispanics "don't know how to get online"--wait, that was Biden who said that

Whenever Joe Biden talks, people listen, and many of them cringe. Anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex, whether or not he or she admits it, knows there is something amiss with Biden's brain. This is not being said out of malice, it's simply obvious.

The gaffer spoke at a Comedy News Network town hall with Anderson Cooper in which the President basically implied that Blacks and Hispanics are too ignorant to "know how to get online."

I'm not saying that Joe Biden is a racist, he can imply that himself with his own words and it's amazing that anyone on his staff doesn't tell him to cool it with these appearances. Without a TelePrompter, Biden comes across like an assisted living old White guy living in the 1960s.

If you need some context, turn on your audio for this brief clip.

During the exchange with Cooper, Uncle Joe is attempting to explain some of the problems being encountered in the course of trying to get everyone vaccinated for the coronavirus. One issue is the online registration process to request a vaccine where problems have existed. The bigger problem, however, is when Biden went off script and said that minorities don't know "how to get online."

His words:

“The other portion is, a lot of people don’t know how to register. Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and African-American community particularly, and in rural areas that are distant or inner-city districts, know how to use, know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreens.”

To paraphrase other Biden statements let us not forget that President Obama is a Black man who smells good and he's smart. You cannot go to a Seven-Eleven without seeing a guy with an Indian accent; and Republicans are going to put all Black people back in chains. 

If that wasn't good enough to show the American public how Biden thinks about minorities then nothing anyone can say would convince them otherwise.

It's truly mind boggling how a U.S. president can be so incredibly condescending to minorities, but hey, let's not forget that he has nearly all of the media making excuses for him or helping him by not reporting some of what he says. 

It's no different than CNN host Chris Cuomo's silence on his brother Gov. Andrew Cuomo's current scandal with the COVID data coverup in New York.

And the way that Anderson Cooper just stood there on stage nodding as if Biden's words were normal tells you everything you need to know about the mainstream media.

A shoe on the other foot, Trump's foot, would have received a different response. And that's why nobody with at least two brain cells to rub together trust the media.
