From December 2024 to September 2025, the share of Vikings fans who say their team is headed in the right direction fell from 95% to 72%, and the share of Twins fans fell from 65% to 44%.
The share also fell among Wild fans, from 92% to 85%.
The share rose among Timberwolves fans, from 83% to 91%, and among Aurora FC fans, from 84% to 93%. It moved from 87% to 90% among Frost and United FC fans and held steady among Lynx fans, from 94% to 92%.
Each round of the survey reaches a different sample of Minnesotans, so these are separate readings taken months apart, not the same people changing their minds.
