1 Week Out, Republican Brad Finstad Has Advantage Over DFL's Jeff Ettinger in Minnesota 1st Congressional District Special Election:

Minnesota's competitive first Congressional District, vacant since the February death of Republican Jim Hagedorn, appears poised to once again be represented by a Republican, according to SurveyUSA's latest polling for ABC 6 News in Rochester.

Today, it's Republican Brad Finstad, a former state representative and former USDA official, at 46%; DFL candidate Jeff Ettinger, the retired CEO of Hormel Foods, is at 38%. 7% say they will vote for some other candidate; 8% say they are undecided. The winner of the special election will serve out the the remainder of Hagedorn's term and face voters again in November.

Among men, Finstad leads by 21 points; among women, Ettinger leads by 5 – a 26-point gender gap. Finstad leads by 13 to 14 points among voters under age 64, but the race is even among voters 65+. 85% of Republicans vote for Finstad, 87% of Democrats for Ettinger; independents lean to Finstad, 39% to 31%.

16% of voters tell SurveyUSA they have already returned their ballots; Ettinger leads by 13 points among these early voters. Among the 60% of likely voters who tell SurveyUSA they are absolutely certain they will vote, Finstad leads by 14 points. 1 in 4 voters say they will "probably" vote; Finstad lead by 8 among these probable voters.

On the issues, among voters who say candidates' views on the economy will be very important when deciding how they will vote – 75% of likely voters –, Finstad leads by 25 points, 55% to 30%. Among those who say the candidates' views on gun laws will be very important, ⅔ of the electorate, Finstad leads by 4. Those who say candidates' views on abortion will be very important, 59% of voters, narrowly prefer Ettinger, 44% to 40%. Among those who say the candidates' views on COVID-19 will be very important, 39% of likely voters, Ettinger leads by a 20-point margin.

26% of voters say they are following the House Select Committee's January 6 hearings very closely, 30% somewhat closely, 22% not very closely; 21% say they aren't following the hearings at all. Among those who are following the hearings, 38% say the hearings will have a major impact on how they will vote in the special election; those voters back Ettinger by a 44-point margin, 66% to 22%. 24% say the hearings will have a minor impact on their vote; those voters support Ettinger by 10 points, 50% to 40%. 36% of those watching the hearings say they will have no impact on their vote; those voters prefer Finstad, 52% to 31%.
 
About the Poll / Filtering: SurveyUSA interviewed 800 adults from Minnesota's First Congressional District 07/26/22 through 07/30/22. Of the adults, 704 were identified as being registered to vote; of the registered voters, 544 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the August 9 special election, or to have already cast their ballot. This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (51% of likely voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer, using telephone sample of registered voters purchased from Aristotle in Washington DC. Respondents unreachable on a landline telephone (49% of likely voters) were shown the survey questions on the display of their smartphone, laptop or tablet, using online adult panelists chosen randomly by Lucid Holdings LLC of New Orleans. The combined pool of survey respondents was weighted to US Census targets for gender, age, race, and home ownership.
