From the kings of wishful thinking, the Independent Brian Bengs campaign commissioned a poll where they believe they can get 31% against incumbent Republican US Senator Mike Rounds.
But only if the Democrat running drops out of the race.

Maybe in a galaxy far, far away?
Is he kristi noem?
Can’t you Noem haters move on? She is not the Governor.
Noem gives us reason daily to dsislike her and has for almost 40 years.
you have disliked her since she was 14 years old? Let me guess, she wouldn’t go to the Hamlin High School prom with you?
Why is Bengs running a poll where there is no Democrat running? Does he have any reason to believe Beaudoin will drop out and no Democrat will run?
no other Democrat is likely to run.
