Public Policy Poll for South Dakota U.S. Senate Race Shows Libertarian Kurt Evans at 11%

Posted on October 17, 2013 by admin

On October 16, Public Policy Polling released a poll for the 2014 South Dakota U.S. Senate race. The seat is open because incumbent Tim Johnson is retiring. The results: Republican Mike Rounds 40%, Democrat Rick Weiland 34%, Libertarian Kurt Evans 11%, undecided 15%.

Parties retain their place on the ballot in South Dakota if they poll 2.5% for Governor. No other race matters for that purpose. A party that meets the vote test then remains on for another four years. The Libertarian Party has met the 2.5% gubernatorial vote test only once, in 1994. The Constitution Party is also ballot-qualified in South Dakota for 2014. Thanks to PoliticalWire for the link.

Note that Evans gets 7% of Democrats and 7% of Republicans.

Also not that this was paid for by a democratic organization and not one of PPP’s own polls. PPP can swing it differently when paying for democratic organizations.
