New Poll Shows #PeggyFlanagan Expanding Lead in #Minnesota Democratic #US #Senate Primary
by Levi Rickert July 30, 2026
"Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan ( #WhiteEarthOjibwe ) has expanded her lead in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new survey released Wednesday by Public Policy Polling (PPP).
"The poll found Flanagan leading U.S. Rep. #AngieCraig 46% to 32% among likely Democratic primary voters, a 14-point margin that has doubled from the seven-point lead she held in a PPP survey conducted one month earlier.
"The survey comes with less than two weeks remaining before Minnesota Democrats choose their nominee in the #August11 #primary.
"According to the poll, Flanagan maintains a net favorability rating of +32 despite months of negative advertising aimed at her campaign. Her supporters argue that the results demonstrate Democratic voters remain firmly behind the lieutenant governor even after significant outside spending in the race.
"The Flanagan campaign and its allies contend that outside groups supporting Craig—including organizations backed by #cryptocurrency interests and a #TechnologyBillionaire with investments in #datacenters—have spent approximately $20 million on advertising in an effort to influence the primary."
