From Dakota News Now, Dakota News Now has the story on the Morning Consult Poll naming Senator Thune as most popular US Senator in Country, and that his popularity has soared 11 points in recent months:
The Morning Consult published the results of a new survey Monday that found Sen. John Thune (R, S.D.) has the highest approval rating in the Senate, with 62% of respondents approving of his performance.
Thune’s counterpart, Sen. Mike Rounds (R, S.D.), was close behind with 61% approval rating, the fourth-highest rating among all Senators.
Both Senators enjoyed bumps in popularity over the past year. Thune’s approval rating jumped 11 points from the first quarter of 2021, while Rounds’ jumped seven points.
good for John…he is a very good man, and I know works hard for us.
Not suprised, Senator Thune built a majority of the momentum the SDGOP has, since he won against Daschle. I for one, am excited to have the honor to vote for him again!
I think we can gauge his increasing popularity by how much money we make at Lincoln Day Dinners by auctioning or raffling off his autographed basketballs.
I should have kept better records, but it seems every year we realize a higher return. Last Friday in Brookings we broke $100 on it.
Anne at 5:59… Heck, I only paid $50 for Honest Abe’s ax.
WTH has Thune really done for South Dakotans? This makes me question the validity of this study. Murkowshi shows an increase also. We know that’s not so. Thune is a do nothing senator that stands behind that turtle. He needs to go the same way Daschle went. Now.
They’re both idiots with room temperature IQs. And neither have done anything for South Dakota.
