Noem’s Self-Proclaimed Double-Digit Lead Vanishes

PIERRE, SD: After repeatedly telling supporters her campaign holds a double-digit lead in the race for governor, Congresswoman Kristi Noem’s numbers are in a tailspin.

An Argus Leader/KELO poll shows the race in a dead heat.

Jackley’s ground game, which produced record-breaking fundraising and ballot petition numbers, could be the deciding factor.

In a last-ditch attempt to salvage her plummeting support, Noem launched a series of negative TV and radio ads attacking Attorney General Marty Jackley.

“Now we know why Congresswoman Noem launched her negative TV and radio attacks against Marty Jackley last week,” said Jackley for Governor campaign manager Jason Glodt. “Her poll numbers are in a freefall while Jackley is surging. The more people learn about both candidates, the higher our numbers rise.”

  1. Never seen a campaign put out a press release showing they are behind….

    I mean it is statistically in margin of error, but odd.

    I do appreciate the REAL POLL though.

    Dive into the numbers and I found them interesting.

    I thought Jackley’s negatives would be higher…

    1% don’t recognize her and only 6% don’t recognize him…both high and good for both.

    Jackley saw an 11 percent advantage among voters in his native West river and a three percent split over Noem in the southeastern part of the state. But Noem picked up a 19-percent lead in support in her native northeast part of the state and a 14 percent lead in the Sioux Falls metro area.

  2. Noem will win. Jackley is trying too hard to play the victim. Facts don’t care about your feelings, Marty. Stating facts about Jackley is in what way attacks? Then just the other day they release a BLATANT attack ad on Kristi. At least we can tell who’s running the most open and honest campaign, and SURPRISE! it Isn’t the big Government lawyer…

    1. I wouldn’t be so sure. There are a few days left and if 11% are truly undecided (I am one of the 11%) it is a horse race to the end. I guess we’ll know next Tuesday evening.

  3. I don’t believe either campaign is in a tailspin nor do I believe either campaign is surging. Reality is both candidates are respected. Reality is the race has been close for a very long time and will continue close to the end.

  4. I live in the northeast…look at the signs, etcetera..jackley is surging huge in aberdeen, redfield, Ipswich, faulkton, Webster, sisseton, Britton, miller, highmore..

  5. I also think jackley is surging in sioux falls and rapid city especially..went to high school at rapid city central…know a lot of people there..jackley has hundreds of signs in the black hills..noem team hanging signs at night without landowners permission angering many.. let’s drive to mitchell..jackley signs, pierre..jackley..watertown…looks like a lot of jackley signs…castlewood area….look at the jackley signs in opponents back yard..aberdeen..jackley signs everywhere…redfield..jackley everywhere..

  6. Yes, I already voted for marty a week ago with eighty other spink county citizens who switched for primary for jackley. We have been close friends for thirty years. He attended sturgis and I went to rapid city central after my family moved away from our farm at mellette due to financial matters in the 80s. Marty has always been hardworking, honest and sincere. I have been with him at the jackley farm at vale and he hunts with his children at my farm in spink and cousins in brown. I knew his wife who is a rapid grad before him..a ranch girl.

  7. Been busy in spink, brown, hand, McPherson, Faulk, potter, Marshall, day, Roberts, beadle, Aurora, davison, yankton counties for jackley..look at signs🙂😁😁yes, jackley surging huge!!!!

  8. Noem doesn’t have a ground game here or in surrounding counties…marty does..just drive up here.. enjoy the no noem zone in spink and brown counties..for over forty miles….no ground game in pierre, rapid city..failed to show for Lincoln day dinner in spink county to attend fundraiser in sioux falls with Texas congressman, removed congressional office from aberdeen..hmm

    1. neither did trump and he won handily…and with as much dirt as their is on Marty how much ground game does she need?

  11. Put your name up..I do..never vote a straight party ticket..best person always…..I can stand front and center..no problem. My name is victor b. Fischbach and I stand with jackley and I voted for him with eighty other spink county residents switching back after June primary.

  12. Watch for a huge press release statewide endorsements and enjoy..meanwhile, the jackley ground machine churns on…wow, how many people can he have?!! Omg..look at signs everywhere including 41st street in sioux falls..
