After no advertising to speak of in the US Senate Race, Brian Bengs is now claiming to be tied with Mike Rounds?
As if! And monkeys just might fly outta’ my butt!
Indy/Democrat/Republican/whatever party he wants to be today Brian Bengs is on facebook now claiming to be magically tied with Mike Rounds in a recent poll from a firm affiliated with Democrats (so much for not being a democrat). And absolutely no one is buying that. Even your crazy aunt who believes everything else she reads on facebook is looking at that boast and rolling her eyes.
The same Bengs poll says John Thune and Mike Rounds are underwater. Despite the fact that just this past May, Emerson found Thune with 70% GOP approval, Rounds at 73% and Rhoden at 76%. Those are huge numbers for our incumbents. Let’s also keep in mind that Democrats have been caught with questionable polls to drum up propaganda and drive donations. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6042644-median-strategies-fake-polls-trust/.
The most accurate sources lately are the prediction markets, and in the story from a couple of days ago they say the odds on Senator Mike Rounds is at 93% likely to win.
You can click on the story which accompanies this graphic at Oddsshopper titled: Why Mike Rounds (R) Will Win the South Dakota Senate Race. (not beating around the bush, are they?)
Based on the likability of Bengs, 93% could be Mike’s vote margin on election day!
Pat, you write so much about Bengs, it makes me think that Rounds is scared. Usually, The Big Three just ignore their general election competition. Maybe not a majority of South Dakotans yet, but people are getting fed up with MAGA and MAGA-lite politicians.
If pounding on bengs ends his narcissistic desire to be known, keep pounding.
