| DFL Candidate Edges Republican Incumbent in District Where Trump Defeated Harris by 12-Point Margin: Johnson 46, Finstad 44 in MN-01:
SurveyUSA's latest exclusive polling for ABC 6 News in Rochester shows DFL challenger Jake Johnson narrowly ahead of Republican incumbent Brad Finstad in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District, a district that elected Donald Trump by a 12-point margin and re-elected Finstad by a 17-point margin two years ago. Johnson, a Rochester math teacher, takes 46% of the vote today; Finstad, seeking his third full term in office, takes 44%. Johnson leads by 5 points among women; Finstad leads by 2 points among men – a 7-point gender gap. Johnson leads by 31 points among voters under age 35, typically the least reliable voters – but also leads by 17 points among voters age 65+, typically the most reliable. Finstad, meantime, leads by 6 points among voters 35 to 49 and by 25 among those 50 to 64. Each candidate runs strongly among his own party's voters, with Johnson up 90 points among both Democrats and liberals, and Finstad up 85 points among Republicans and by 72 among conservatives, but moderates and independents both break for the DFL challenger, by 24 and 19 points respectively. Those with college degrees back Johnson by a 15-point margin; those without support Finstad by 8-10 points. Those with annual household incomes under $40k prefer Johnson by 18 points; those earning more prefer Finstad by 4-5 points. Johnson wins urban parts of the district by 13 points and suburban areas by 8; Finstad wins the rural majority of the district by an 8-point margin. Among those who say they have already voted, Johnson leads by 43 points; among those who say they will definitely vote, Finstad leads by 3. Those who say they probably will vote back Johnson by a 5-point margin, 41% to 36%, with 23% of these lower-propensity voters telling SurveyUSA they are undecided.

| About the Research/Filtering: SurveyUSA interviewed 725 adults from Minnesota's 1st Congressional District 10/04/26 through 10/09/26 using a mixed mode, blended sample approach. Of the adults, 664 were determined to be registered voters and were asked Q2-Q6 below; of the registered voters, 565 were determined to be likely to vote in the November general election and were asked Q7-Q8 below. 49% of likely voters were interviewed on the display of their smartphone, tablet or other electronic device using non-probability sample of internet panel members provided by Cint USA. 51% were interviewed using probability-based telephone sample of registered voters from Aristotle of Washington, DC, with 24% interviewed on their landline telephones in the recorded voice of a professional announcer and 27% interviewed using SMS-to-Web, where a live operator hand-texted respondents on their mobile phones, secured their cooperation, and linked them to an online version of the survey. The full pool of respondents was weighted to US Census-derived targets for gender, age, ethnicity, and home ownership. |
