This morning, the Morning Consult released the latest edition of its Senator and Governor Approval Rankings, and South Dakota found it’s two US Senators in the top 10 of favored Senators, with Mike Rounds ranking #6, and John Thune ranking #8.
(Data compiled using 472,802 interviews from January 1 through March 31, 2019.)
Awesome to see that SD has 2 of the top 8 most popular Senators!!!
Yes! However, if you click on the link you may have noticed that Thune’s approval rating has dropped from Q4 2018 to Q1 2019 and a there has been a significant drop from Q1 2017. It’s a similar case with Rounds. I wonder why?
Who is being surveyed? Registered South Dakota voters or over 5,000 registered voters across the United States? Grain of salt.
Morning Consult uses polling info from the Senator’s home state to determine rankings. So they are registered SD voters.
Q1 2017: Trump
Q1 2019: Mueller
Prediction: Thune will become more and more unpopular due to his leadership position. Rounds will become more and more popular with 2020 approaching.
I think that may be true.
Rounds is more popular than Thune.
That’s my takeaway.
Its a human flaw that some people will have a penchant to criticize others no matter what.
They are known as ‘picker of nits’.
This again shows that Vermont is peopled with idiots. They can keep the maple syrup.
Maple syrup is delicious, but I’d prefer to buy a locally-produced variety & support SD agriculture. Pretty sure we can grow maple trees.
