Demuth Cuts Lindell Lead to 6 Points as Craig Edges Flanagan by 2 in Minnesota Poll

Summary
A final KSTP/SurveyUSA poll shows Minnesota’s GOP governor primary tightening sharply, with Mike Lindell still ahead but Lisa Demuth now within 6 points days before voting.
Older voters could decide both marquee toss-ups: Demuth leads Lindell 41%-28% among voters 65 and older, while Angie Craig leads Peggy Flanagan 55%-37% in that same age group.
Craig has regained a 2-point edge over Flanagan in the DFL Senate primary, but 15% remain undecided, leaving the race within the poll’s margin of error.
Michele Tafoya appears to have locked up the GOP Senate primary at 48%, leading Royce White by 35 points, while the attorney general general-election test shows Keith Ellison ahead of Ron Schutz 44%-36%.
The results reinforce earlier signs of volatile Minnesota primaries in which turnout patterns and a sizable undecided bloc could still swing the closest contests on Tuesday.
