Walz Approval Falls to 39% in Minnesota as $300 Million Fraud Scandal Deepens

Summary
A new Mason-Dixon poll put Gov. Tim Walz at 39% approval and 53% disapproval in Minnesota—his lowest in six years and below Donald Trump’s 41% in the state.
The slide comes as House Oversight Chairman James Comer says Walz and other Minnesota leaders ignored whistleblower warnings, allowing $300 million in federal nutrition fraud to spread for political reasons.
On the scandal, 45% of voters said they trust Republicans to fix it, versus 38% for Democrats, while Walz’s support fell 10 points from last year as the issue dominated headlines.
The June 8-10 survey of 800 likely voters also found another Walz-backed issue under strain: 50% disapproved of Minnesota’s new state flag, adding to the governor’s end-of-term political damage before he leaves office in January.
