New Poll: Jackley has Massive 52 Point Lead in Congressional Race
Pierre: Today, a new independent poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Strategy and Polling showed Attorney General Marty Jackley with a massive 52 point lead over his opponents. Jackley leads his closest opponent 57% to 5%.
The poll is an improvement over other independent polling from late June showing Jackley with a 43 point lead over his closest opponent.
Jackley not only has massive leads in all polling conducted in the race, he has also shattered fundraising records. Jackley recently filed his first quarterly campaign finance report for Congress reporting $525,760 raised with $503,279 cash on hand, raising 155% more than any other candidate in South Dakota has raised for their first fundraising quarter in a campaign for the House of Representatives. In fact, Jackley raised more than double the amount of his four opponents combined.
“I’m proud of the momentum that continues to build for our campaign,” said Marty Jackley. “It is a testament to the hard work we put in for South Dakota every single day and the strong grassroots support we have across the state.”
“The polling shows the voters know that I am the only true conservative in this race,” said Jackley. “I serve on President Trump’s America First Attorney General Advisory Council and I’m the only candidate who endorsed President Trump in the primary. I’ve built a relationship with the White House to push a conservative America First agenda and deliver results for South Dakota.”
Jackley continues to build strong momentum and is the clear favorite in the race for Congress. The record-breaking fundraising and massive leads in independent polling proves Jackley has overwhelming support from all corners of South Dakota. An October 28, 2025 Cook Political Report story says Jackley is well-positioned to win the race and states, “Jackley is dominant enough that any opponent will have a tough time to knocking him off course.”

It’s cheaper to buy a congressman in south dakota than almost anywhere else in the US.
Good thing Marty is in the lead. Crabtree is a dream candidate for lobbyists and special interests, because they can control him.
You’re right on Jerry and that’s a point that needs to be made repeatedly across this state. Crabtree is competent but he has never appeared interested in his constituents.
Vote for Nick Lomely. The only decentralized in paid candidate in the state
Rough morning at Redstone
Great, we’ll go from a centrist to a showboating enabler.
Well, at least after he’s elected he can make it to work on time now that he’ll be in DC after a romantic night with Bondy.
RE: poll results – – GOOD. Nothing wrong with a little Rounds’-style poll dominance.
Bad day for crabtree.
No doubt in my mind Crabtree will be in Congress at some point.
Unlikely. This is as far as he ever gets.
Crabtree is a hard worker and his numbers will improve as the election draws near. That doesn’t mean he’ll win, but he won’t drop out either.
Redstone should decide if they want to help Larry or Crabtree. Doing both isn’t helpful to either candidate.
Jackley = personality of the inside of a cardboard box
Jackley can’t even run the AGs office. It’s a mess with high turnover. The leadership is so bad nobody wants to work at his office and they can’t even recruit staff.
