Democrats Solidly Ahead in Minnesota

A new Emerson College survey of Minnesota likely voters finds Democratic candidates for office leading Republican counterparts for governor, U.S. Senate, and on a generic state legislature ballot.

In the election to replace retiring Gov. Tim Walz, Amy Klobuchar leads the hypothetical matchups against Republican Speaker of the Minnesota House Lisa Demuth, 51% to 38%, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, 53% to 31%.

Looking ahead to the U.S. Senate race, Lieutenant Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig lead Republican Michele Tafoya in hypothetical matchups, 47% to 40% and 47% to 41%, respectively.
