look within the Democratic primary for Governor suggests a very close race on Tuesday as voters are split among the top candidates. State Attorney

General Lori Swanson is at 29% and

Rep. Tim Walz is at 28%. Former state House Majority leader/Emily list endorsed Erin Murphy is statistical tied with the two at 19%, and 24% are undecided/other.

On the Republican side, former Gov Tim

Pawlenty has a slight advantage over Jeff Johnson for

the nomination 43% to 34% with 23% undecided. (n=156, +/8%). Driving the Pawlenty vote are

independent voters in the Republican primary breaking for Pawlenty 66% to 13%, while Republican affiliated vo

ters are breaking slightly for Johnson, 39% to 38%.

It appears at this time that whomever the Democrats and Republicans nominate, Democrats will

start with a slight lead. In hypothetical ballot tests Swanson leads Pawlenty 44% to 36% (21%

undecided) while Walz leads Pawlenty 44% to 33% (23% undecided). The race tightens if Johnson wins the GOP nomination; against Swanson he trails 37% to 32% (31% Swanson he trails 37% to 32% (31% undecided)

and against Walz, Johnson trails 40% to 33%, with 27% undecided.

President DJ Trump’s approval rating is lower in Minnesota than his national numbers with a 35% approval compared with his RCP average of 43%. Trump’s disapproval is about the same as his national numbers at 51%. Driving down Trump's popularity appears to be his recent tariffs, which 49% of Minnesotans think are bad for the state; 18% think the tariffs are good. Emerson University Poll

On Tuesday, Missouri voters sent a message to the Republican-controlled state Legislature: The state must protect unions. It is the first state since 2012 to overturn a right-to-work law that aimed to weaken unions by severely restricting their cash flow.Tuesday’s vote in Missouri serves as the first test of the right-to-work movement’s momentum since a crucial Supreme Court decision in June dealt a blow to unions nationally. In Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31, the court ruled that public-sector unions could no longer require fees for representation from non-union members, overturning years of precedent and effectively making right-to-work the standard in public-sector unions.

News organizations were the black boxes of the pre-digital era, making news decisions about what to cover and how to cover it with little transparency or explanation. Where major news organizations were once gatekeepers, though, they’ve largely ceded that power to platforms, thanks to what the Pew Research Center calls the “packaging and delivery” of news through Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple News and their ilk.
