Democratic candidates hold consistent polling leads in Minnesota’s open U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races ahead of the November 3 election. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan leads Republican Michele Tafoya by roughly three points on average across recent surveys, while Sen. Amy Klobuchar leads Republican Lisa Demuth by seven to nine points. Both contests feature open seats after retirements by Tina Smith and Tim Walz, with Democratic nominees benefiting from Minnesota’s historical lean and strong name recognition. Ratings from multiple forecasters classify the Senate race as Lean or Likely Democratic and the governor race as Likely or Safe Democratic. Early voting totals have surged, though no single late-October event has altered the polling trajectory. Trader consensus reflected in the 82.5% price for a Democratic sweep aligns with these sustained margins and the limited remaining time before Election Day.
