MN-GOV, MN-SEN: The political ramifications of Operation Metro Surge on the November election

The political fallout of Operation Metro Surge is expected to be long lasting not just in Minnesota, but across the country.

This month, an Emerson College survey found 60.2% of Minnesota residents believe the ICE presence has been more harmful, with 36.2% say it's been more beneficial.

In hypothetical matchups, the survey found that in Minnesota's gubernatorial race, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar would beat Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth 51.1% to 37.7%.

In the race for Sen. Tina Smith's seat, the survey found former NFL sideline reporter Republican Michele Tafoya losing to both DFL competitors — Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig — by double digits.
