The MinnPost poll found that 47 percent of Minnesota voters support Walz, while Jensen followed close behind with 42 percent. The other four third-party candidates each earned one percent support.

Five percent of Minnesota voters remain undecided, while one percent said they would not vote.

Commercials are blasting Jensen on abortion. Remember, it’s okay for a Liberal woman to murder her child in the womb but she wouldn’t think of shooting her child in a classroom.

This guy let Minneapolis burn for like a month straight. Get your act together, Minnesota. This is pathetic.

Maybe it’s the muzzie hate-America vote. Probably, they’re happy to support white Americans killing themselves with abortion, too.

Nope he’s being out spent 10 to 1. That said he’s also a Jeb Bush like candidate when we needed Ron DeSantis in Minnesota. It doesn’t help that he stepped on his man bits latching onto a story about litter boxes in school bathrooms that didn’t exist. Local media had a field day with that one. Or the fact that when he was a senator he signed on to two very controversial Democrat gun control bills, yeah that’ll help him... Tim Walz has been dodging debates until recently now that most of the early voting is done and the new debate that’s happening I think tonight is not being aired in the twin City metro area so potential walz voters won’t even know what he said because the media sure is hell won’t report it.

It’s almost like the DNC picked him for the mngop.

I’m glad the race is closer but 5 points is not good enough obviously.

Under 50% is still serious danger zone for incumbents. Undecideds are going to break heavily for REpublicans... this will be close.

They had two chances to vote for Ronald Reagan and didn’t. Only state that can say that.

The MN GOP has picked a relatively poor candidate and as usual is running a lousy campaign. Walz is running slick TV ads and outside groups are pounding Jensen’s abortion comments as “too extreme”. Walz is very vulnerable on his COVID shutdown, but nary a peep on this in GOP ads. Jensen billboards promise lower gas prices and inflation, but anyone with a simple understanding of how things work knows a state Governor is relatively powerless to influence these national economic issues. I’ve lived in MN for nearly 10 years and the GOP leadership continually runs poor campaigns while outside groups pour money into the DFL to run slick professional ads. GOP candidates for state office also have a tendency to be less than great choices. Sad to say Minnesotans may be stuck with the likes of Walz and Keith Ellison until the GOP gets its act together.

Sorry Surrender Monkeys but you don’t get off that easy.
Just saying “It’s Minnesota,” is having your head in the clouds of ignorance.

Even you guys must admit there will be very little split ticket voting this cycle. That said you have to look at the statewide Republican that is doing the best in his/her race.

Zeldin in New York just saw his race moved to Toss Up - lots of reasons but the fact that the Republican AG candidate is actually winning of the rodent incumbent is certainly one of those reasons.
Siena laughably jumped to the incumbent rodent’s defense with its FINAL pre-election poll - THREE WEEKS out showing the rodent up by double digits - which of course she is not. Zeldin will win.

In Arizona both Lake and GOP AG candidate are winning so Master will as well.

In Minnesota Jim Schultz, the Republican candidate for attorney general in Minnesota, is now tied with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), according to a MinnPost poll released Monday.

MinnPost found that Schultz and Ellison are tied at 47 percent support among Minnesota voters. However, the two candidates are now vying for support from the five percent of undecided voters.

Those “undecideds” are not undecided they are Democrat/communists that can’t bring themselves to say out loud they are voting for a Republican.
