RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A new poll finds that the majority of
South Dakotans approve of Gov. Dennis Daugaard's performance.
Sixty percent of South Dakota voters approve of the Republican governor's
job performance. Two-thirds of all Republicans said they supported
the job Daugaard was doing as governor while 53 percent of
Independents and 54 percent of Democrats approved of his
performance.
This support for the first-term governor comes in spite of
worries about the future. Thirty-one percent of voters say the
state is headed in the wrong direction while 27 percent believe the
state is going in the right direction.
Sioux Falls-based Nielson Brothers Polling interviewed 1,031
South Dakota voters on Aug. 31, Sept. 1 and Sept. 2 for the study.
