Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison holds a strong position in the November 3, 2026, Minnesota election, reflected in trader pricing that favors him over Republican challenger Ronald J. Schutz. Recent Star Tribune/KARE 11 polling from early October showed Ellison leading 48% to 40% among likely voters, following tighter or slight Republican edges in September surveys. Democrats have controlled the office for more than five decades, and Ellison secured his party's nomination with over 84% in the August primary. The race centers on fraud enforcement in state programs, consumer protection, affordability measures, and responses to federal actions, with both candidates highlighting these in recent debates. Undecided voters and regional divides remain factors that could influence final margins before Election Day.
