MN-SEN: Craig up in Senate primary

Four-term Congresswoman Angie Craig leads a tightly contested DFL primary for U.S. Senate.

Craig garnered 41% of the vote, ahead of the 36% for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, who won the DFL endorsement. Roughly 18% of respondents are still undecided while 6% support another DFL candidate.

- Craig received nearly half the vote from men while Flanagan leads slightly among women.
- Younger voters favor Flanagan slightly while older voters, especially 65+, skew toward Craig.
- Unsurprisingly, more liberal voters are backing Flanagan while moderates favor Craig.

Analysis: “Almost one in five Democratic primary voters have not made up their minds, and that’s a big chunk of voters. And you only have a 5-point race in this poll between Craig and Flanagan, so this is very much up for grabs,” Carleton College political analyst Steven Schier said.
