Change Research, a national research firm that has conducted more than 2,000 polls of over 3 million people since 2017, surveyed likely Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) primary election voters in Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, May 27-June 3, 2022. A total of 754 likely voters were interviewed online, and the survey has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points. Post-stratification weighting was performed on age, race/ethnicity, sex, education, and vote choice history. Weighting parameters reflected the composition of likely 2022 DFL primary election voters, based on probabilistic turnout scores provided by Deck.
