Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, September 16, 2026 — A recent poll conducted in Minnesota by KSTP and SurveyUSA indicates notable shifts in several key statewide electoral contests. The findings suggest a changing landscape as election cycles progress, with particular attention drawn to the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and State Auditor races.

The poll data reveals that the contest for Minnesota’s Secretary of State has become more competitive. While specific candidate names were not detailed in the provided information, the trend points toward a tightening of the race, suggesting increased voter engagement or a narrowing of perceived differences between contenders in this specific office.

In contrast, the margins for Republican candidates in both the Attorney General and State Auditor races have reportedly widened, according to the KSTP/SurveyUSA findings. This suggests a potentially stronger showing for Republican contenders in these two specific statewide executive positions compared to previous indications or earlier points in the electoral cycle.

Further details regarding the methodology of the KSTP/SurveyUSA poll, including the sample size, margin of error, and the specific dates of data collection, were not provided. Similarly, information on the specific candidates leading or trailing in these races, or the exact percentages indicating the shifts, is not available in the summary. The names of the Republican candidates who have seen widened margins were not specified.

The implications of these shifts for the broader election outcomes in Minnesota remain a subject for future analysis as more data becomes available. Polling provides a snapshot of public opinion at a given time and can be influenced by various factors throughout a campaign season.
