Minnesota Senate race is favoring Peggy Flanagan as Tafoya seemingly fades.

Polling with around 40 days left, if trending, is not good news for the former sideline football personality. However, trust in polling should be leveraged with some sense of how GOTV will be, both parties.

GOTV is now being door knocked and in mailings, with apparent TV advertising also at play

The early voting period has begun, and AJ reports: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/18/early-in-person-voting-begins-in-the-2026-us-midterm-elections-in-virginia  -- trust in going to early voting sites gaining over choosing mail-in balloting. Given how Trump is doing all he can to poison post office protocol to discourage trust in his mail management pre-election, it's an expected outcome. 

 Crabgrass did not attempt to research any polling or other subjective indicia of early voting vs mail balloting preference,  (or waiting to see election day weather), and the AJ item was encountered off an earlier site homepage rather than being researched.
