Minnesota State Fair

Everyone loves the Minnesota State Fair!  The 2018 State Fair ended a few days ago with record-breaking attendance of over two million visitors. 

From the very beginning, the State Fair has always been a place to find politicians.  Since 1974, citizens have been able to meet state legislators and learn about the Minnesota Legislature at the House Information and Senate Information booths. Since at least 1988, the public has been able to take an opinion poll at the booths.  For many, taking the polls is a State Fair tradition.

The House and Senate State Fair opinion polls differ—the House poll has yes, no, and undecided responses while the Senate has lengthier, more nuanced questions and answers.  You can find out the issues of the day by reading the Library’s archived collection of House polls (1993-present) and Senate polls (1988-present).

The Library has several histories of the State Fair.  Feel free to request any or all of them.
