Dusty Johnson Issues Statement on Argus-KELO Poll
MITCHELL, SD – Dusty Johnson, Republican nominee for Congress in South Dakota, issued the following statement following the release of an Argus Leader/KELO TV poll that showed him leading his Democratic challenger by 23 points:
“I’m thrilled. Our optimistic, South Dakota first message is hitting home with South Dakotans. We have less than two weeks to go and I won’t slow down for a second.”
The poll surveyed 500 registered voters likely to cast their ballots in the election. 54 percent said they would vote for Dusty, 31 percent said they’d vote for Democrat Tim Bjorkman, two percent supported independent candidate Ron Wieczorek and 1 percent said they’d vote for Libertarian George Hendrickson. 12 percent of respondents were undecided. The poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy and surveyed voters by telephone between October 18 and October 22. The margin of error is 4.5 percentage points.

Boom. 23 points. Wowser.
Great news!
Dusty is a machine. The guy might be unstoppable.
Looking forward to Congressman Dusty
This proves the state is strongly Republican. So why is Kristi struggling?
Exactly. She’s tied and he’s up 23.
Same respondents.
Sutton also had higher favorability.
What gives?
If she was running for federal office would she be up 23 too?
Sutton received a LOT of money from dems both in and out of state that Bjorkman didn’t get. There is likely more focus on the governor’s race by the dems since governors are one of 50. Our lone congressman is only one of 435. Kristi was a standout in that large group. But, that’s not saying that Dusty isn’t DYNOMITE!
Kristi’s been in the public eye for ten years. She was given a lot of positive exposure during her time on the Ways and Means committee. She’s running against an unknown who has zero experience. She can’t even reach 50% in the polls. People know Kristi. People don’t like Kristi.
