Klobuchar isn't beatable, the real challenge is holding her to a win margin of less than 15.
You can already see some R/RW flop sweat about the challenge of beating Klobuchar; convincing people that a senator who wasn’t involved in MN state government was culpable in Minnesota welfare scandal, not easy. Rare case of a DC resume being an asset
Listening to Tim Pawlenty basically say on MPR ... "well, if Klobuchar runs, it's gonna be tough."

Really that's the next question.

State Navigate turned out to be one of the most accurate pollsters in Virginia in 2025. Here's our analysis for why we beat the rest of the pack.

Fun story from 2017. When I first met @pwcdanica.bsky.social it was at an event when I was barely 18. I showed her my predictions for the House of Delegates which had her in a Likely D/Solid D race. She disagreed and said she was in a Toss-Up.

She won by 8.

As a 26-year-old, I came up with the idea of sending our text messages to 18-29 year olds in lowercase to try to get them to respond to the survey. It worked like a charm.

As a political scientist, so privileged to be working with Michael Foley on our polling.

Cultural competence goes a long way. We knew young voters would come out in Virginia this year, so we made sure we got them to answer our surveys.

You can now go to @statenavigate.org and see shifts by precinct district and county in VA from 24 presidential. We have allocated non ED votes via formula where localities haven't allocated yet.

the folks over at State Navigate also appear to have had a very good night with their forecasts in New Jersey and Virginia: projects.statenavigate.com/25-26/states...

and their polling in VA (which I did the weighting for), both statewide and house districts, was also very good!
