Recent polling shows the Minnesota U.S. Senate contest between Democrat Peggy Flanagan and Republican Michele Tafoya locked in a near tie, with both campaigns intensifying get-out-the-vote operations ahead of November 3. Record Democratic primary participation and expanded early voting, including absentee ballots available since mid-September, have lifted baseline expectations, while Republican efforts target low-propensity voters in greater Minnesota. These factors keep projected totals clustered in the 2.6M–3.05M range. A surge in late undecided voters, stronger enthusiasm among one party's base, or unusually favorable weather on Election Day could push totals higher or lower, creating separation among the leading bins.
