Minnesotans say their state is headed in the wrong direction, no matter who you ask
Just 28% of Minnesota Democrats say the state is headed the right way despite holding the governorship, a statewide probability survey finds.
Nearly six in 10 Minnesota adults (58%) say the state is headed in the wrong direction, while just 19% say things are on the right track, according to a Minnesota Community Survey of 1,072 adults conducted by Lumaris Research from Jan. 22 to Feb. 12, 2026.
Not a single demographic group in our survey is net positive on Minnesota's direction, and neither party can muster much optimism.
