Independent Larry Pressler continues to steal support from Republican Mike Rounds in the race for U.S. Senate, while Democrat Rick Weiland falls behind, a new poll shows.
Survey South Dakota — conducted by Survey USA on behalf of the American News, KSFY TV of Sioux Falls and KOTA TV of Rapid City — was of 616 likely voters and was conducted between Oct. 1 and Sunday. It shows 35 percent of those responding will vote for Rounds, 32 percent for Pressler and 28 percent for Democrat Rick Weiland. Three percent of voters back independent Gordon Howie and 2 percent are undecided, according to the poll. It has a margin of error of 4 percent.

Go Pressler! He is the type of Conservative McConnell wants to punch in the nose. Who McCain would call a whacko-bird. Who Cochran would resort to race-baiting against.
IOW, my kind of guy.
Are you sure Pressler is a conservative? I thought Howie at 3% was the only conservative running.
Larry is just another rino.
He supported obamacare.
I don’t like Rounds but he is the lesser of 3 evils.
In my opinion
Considering Pressler endorsed Obama in both 2008 and 2012, I would certainly hope he's the type of "conservative" that would be punched in the nose.
Pressler has stated his support of Obamacare, is not an advocate of the Keystone pipeline and as an independent would not be accepted by either party. Rounds is not my first choice, but Pressler is at best another RINO and at worst a liberal.
Pressler has been bought off and will caucus with the dems.
Pressler is no independent and no conservative. He shed the (R) behind his name some time ago. I thought he was just trying to run on his once good name as a Rounds spoiler but he’s hurting Weilland as well. Weilland is a POS but for whatever reason the DNSC has decided to spend a million dollars on tv ads for him— thats a lot for us here!! This race shouldn’t even be close...
I would support Mike Rounds but I would like him to have a scare.
Hopefully Sen Hoeven (ND) gets primaried or at least votes conservative from the end of 2014 to the 2016 Senate primary.
