Missing toddler found dead; Presidential election poll finds close race in Minnesota

A 4-year-old reported missing Sunday was found dead in Minnehaha Creek this morning after having apparently drowned.

According to the poll conducted last week, Biden had support from 44.5 percent support compared to Trump's 40.6. That's considered a dead heat given the poll's margin of sampling error.
