A recent poll sponsored by South Dakota News Watch reveals that Republican nominee Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in the upcoming presidential election in South Dakota, with 59% of voters planning to vote for him compared to 33% for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. The poll also shows that other Republican candidates, including U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson and Public Utilities Commissioner Kristie Fiegen, are also leading in their respective reelection bids. Despite some fluctuations in voters’ preferences, Trump’s favorability rating remains steady at 48%, reflecting his continued support in the state. The switch from Biden to Harris on the Democratic ticket has slightly increased support for Democrats in South Dakota, but not significantly. Meanwhile, Fiegen is poised to win re-election with a 50% vote share, supported by 76% of Republicans. Johnson, on the other hand, has a commanding lead over his Democratic opponent, Sheryl Johnson, with 61% of voter support. The poll results indicate a strong Republican presence in South Dakota, with little deviation from party registration. The overall trend reflects the challenges faced by the Democratic Party in a predominantly conservative state. Despite the efforts of Democratic candidates to gain support, the poll suggests that Republicans continue to dominate in South Dakota politics.
