New data: 60% of Minnesotans disapprove of U.S. tariffs, and 62% say tariffs on Canadian goods will hurt the state's economy.

In fact, only 16% of Minnesotans say Canadian tariffs will help the state. #PublicOpinion

[Lumaris Research @lumarispoll]

70% of Trump voters approve of tariffs generally, but only 37% say Canadian tariffs will help Minnesota's economy. That gap stands out.

Broad tariff support doesn't necessarily translate to local support. #MNleg

[Lumaris Research @lumarispoll]

1 in 3 Minnesotans worried someone close to them could be arrested. That rises to 64% among Minnesotans of color and 62% of immigrants.

76% of Minnesotans say violence against political leaders is a big problem.

Only 4 points separate Republicans (79%) and Democrats (75%), a rare consensus in polarized times. 🧵

[Lumaris Research @lumarispoll]

Non-voters stood apart: just 50% called political violence a big problem, 26 points lower than the state overall.

🧵 The Winter Olympics start today. We asked 914 Minnesotans: What's your favorite sport?
The top answer? Figure skating, by a mile (1 in 3).
But the gender gap is wild 👇

[Craig Helmstetter @c_helmstetter]

Hey fellow Minnesotans: The Olympics starts today & we have sent more athletes than any other state besides CO.

One thing men and women agree on: Only ~1% of Minnesotans give cross-country skiing top billing. Jessie Diggins, we're sorry. 😅

[Lumaris Research @lumarispoll]

Over HALF of Minnesota women say figure skating is their favorite Winter Olympic sport.

Minnesota men? Ice hockey first (32%), then downhill skiing. Figure skating comes in third, tied with...the sledding events.
