Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is more unpopular than he has ever been, but still not as unpopular as the new state flag, according to a poll released this week.

A new KARE 11/Star Tribune/U of M poll found that just 39% of Minnesotans approve of Gov. Walz’s performance while 53% disapprove and 8% are undecided. The figure reportedly represents Walz’s lowest approval rating since being elected governor.

But Minnesota’s new state flag fares even worse. The poll shows that just 30% of Minnesotans approve of the redesigned flag, compared to 50% who disapprove and 20% who are undecided.

The poll also found that most Minnesotans disapprove of President Donald Trump. A total of 41% of respondents said they approve of his performance, whereas 56% disapprove and 3% are undecided.

Meanwhile, U.S. Sen Amy Klobuchar leads all three of her potential Republican opponents in the race to replace Walz: 48%-40% against Lisa Demuth; 48%-37% against Kendall Qualls; and 53%-36% against Mike Lindell.

However, the poll reveals that 81% of Minnesotans are either very or somewhat concerned about fraud, and a plurality (45%) of voters trust Republicans over Democrats (38%) to reduce fraud.

Minnesota GOP Chair Alex Plechash said the poll confirms that the “DFL brand is collapsing.”
