South Dakota State University’s most recent political poll was released today, and it’s not looking so good for Steve Haugaard, Bruce Whalen, or Taffy Howard. They might be able to take a little consolation in that as bad as it looks for them, it might be worse for the Attorney General.
The SDSU poll has Governor Noem utterly crushing Steve Haugaard, on a preference of 61 – 17%. Literally, he could take every undecided, and she’d still beat him on nearly a 2-1 basis.
This race is over. Just like it is in the Thune contest.
If the Republican primary for United States Senate was held today, 46% of likely primary voters indicated that they would vote for John Thune. Challengers Bruce Whalen and Mark Mowry received support of 9% and 4%, respectively.
Done. Stick a fork in the Whalen and Mowry potatoes. They shouldn’t spend their gas money at this point.
And again in Congressional contest..
Finally, we asked likely Republican primary voters about their preferences in the U.S. House primary was held today. Of these voters, 53% indicated they would vote for Dusty Johnson, just under 17% said they would vote for Taffy Howard, and 30% were not sure.
Is that worse than Liz May did? When the numbers are said and done, I have a suspicion it could be. Taffy’s vote total is suspiciously close to the percentage of floor votes she didn’t show up for in Pierre.
And then there’s the voter preference on impeachment..
This is so definitive that it shows like there might be some huge liabilities for candidates who came out against it in the House. 70-9%? Whoof.
Thune, Johnson and Kristi are on a glide path to re-election, and their challengers are entirely clueless. It’s over.
The lead is bigger for the incumbents. SDSU poll in all 2 years it has been around has proven incompetent. They don’t understand things like “likely” voter. That’s too many undecided for them to be likely. They also say they talked to 1200 voters for the poll at 3% error. But when changing terms from registered voters to likely Republican voters they don’t mention a change in error which should be 5%. Small things draw doubt but the leads are much bigger.
These all seem about right to me.
Sorry but I don’t trust pulls in general and this one seems scewed. I get the Thune and Dusty numbers but not the other two. Not sure how well this pull was done.
You don’t get the Noem numbers? Do you live under a rock?
Noem is not going to have it as easy as Dusty or Thune. Not even close. She has angered a lot of people with her self serving attitude.
Noem is not well-liked at all in the state, she is always campaigning out of state and her scandals are a big concern.
So young Ms. Taffy may still have a chance, then, you’re saying, eh?
Among people that chose a side 76-24. It’s closer than it was before. Now she’s only down 52 points! Here comes the comeback!
This site was pretty out of step with South Dakotans as it pertained to the AG for quite some time. Glad to see you acknowledging it.
Ravnsborg is a weight on the GOP. A continuation of those clowns is how the GOP loses an office to the Dems.
These are the results you get when Dollar Store candidates run Dollar Store campaigns of insults, threats and empty slogans. Not an original thought among them.
