MINNEAPOLIS (Gambling911.com) - While Minnesota is generally not thought of these days as a swing state, and the Midterm races are mostly trending towards the Democrats nationwide, polls show something different brewing in the North Star State.
To be clear, the Democratic candidate, Peggy Flanagan, is still a big -1500 favorite to win at BetOnline with just under a month until the Midterms.
Republican Michele Tafoya pays $750 for every $100 bet. And there is value here.
From 2011 to 2022, Tafoya worked primarily as a sideline reporter for NBC Sunday Night Football. This has given her instant name recognition.
FiftyPlusOne has Flanagan up 4 points over Tafoya, 46.5% to 42.9%. Flanagan has lost ground in recent weeks.
MSUM Political Science Professor Dr. Barbara Headrick doesn’t put to much faith in the poll and recommends people follow the money.
“The thing I would look at right now for the Minnesota senate race, where are the parties spending money? The national parties. are they putting money into the Minnesota race? That indicates that the parties see that as tightening,” Headrick said.
The prediction site Polymarket has an 86% chance of Flanagan winning the seat, and gives Tafoya a 14% chance at winning.
