Sioux Falls, SD, Sep. 13 (UPI) -- Republican John Thune now leads Sen. Majority Leader Tom Daschle by three points in the South Dakota Senate race, pollster Scott Rasmussen said Monday.

Thune, who served for four years as South Dakota's lone representative in the the U.S. House of Representatives, leads Daschle 50 percent to 47 percent among the 500 likely voters surveyed, inside the survey's 4.5 point margin of sampling error.

In the last Rasmussen survey, conducted in February, Daschle led Thune by three points.

Thune leads 51 percent to 46 percent among men and 49 percent to 47 percent among women, Rasmussen said. Thune is viewed favorably by 65 percent of South Dakota voters while 52 percent say they have a favorable opinion of Daschle.

Daschle will be "deeply saddened" as he accepts his new job in January-a janitor at the Capitol building...

I think Rasmussen overpolls Democrats. I sent him an e-mail asking him his breakdown of Dems/Reps/. Maybe Thune is even further ahead than he says.

Check the voting lists at the Indian Reservations, remove all who fought at the Little Big Horn.

Nobody wants to spend money on ads in this state. Our two largest cities are on opposite ends of the state, and each has different network affiliates. The maximum audience for east of the Missouri is around 350,000, while the west is only around 250,000.

This state is easily 3-1 republican, but everyone believes that "puff's" status as minority leader ensures SD a place in national politics. THAT IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE COUNTERED! Issues here are the same for both parties, the commercial are always conservative, right now Dashle has an ad on TV talking about family values. the issue for SDakotans is having a voice that can be heard throughout the nation. If that was effectively countered the race would be a landslide victory for Thune.

Concur with your analysis....

I am considering/drafting a "letter to the editors" for all the major and medium print outlets in S.D. (via email & fax)... for about ten days before the election. Thus expressing my earlier sentiment in a more complete and discrete argument.

Even though I live in another state--LOL.
Mayhaps someone will be kwazy enough to print it...
PUHHH-LLEEEEEZE....

Have a great day
