Peggy Flanagan holds an 86.5 percent implied probability in the Minnesota Senate race due to the state’s long Democratic lean in federal contests, her decisive August primary victory over moderate Rep. Angie Craig, and consistent polling leads in a blue-leaning electorate. Recent surveys through early October show Flanagan ahead by single digits or in low-single-digit margins among likely voters, narrowing from earlier post-primary gaps but still reflecting Democratic advantages in turnout and demographic support. Michele Tafoya’s Republican primary win and focus on state fraud scandals plus Tim Walz administration issues have kept her competitive in some September polls, yet Minnesota has not elected a Republican senator since 2002. The November 3 general election timeline leaves limited room for late shifts, supporting trader consensus around the current pricing.
