To paraphrase Tom Hanks, “Rapid City, we’ve got a problem.”
There have been exactly zero polls showing Weiland ahead or even above 30% as far as I know. No recent poll has showed Pressler with a “safe” lead above the low double digits. So why start panicking now? PPP is a rat pollster. A poll last week had Rounds up 39%-26%. PPP is a MOE away from that same result.
If they had pulled a Kansas here and Weiland dropped out for Pressler, I’d be worried, if Pressler dropped out for Weiland I’d be somewhat worried. But as long as both of them are on the ballot then I see close to ZERO % chance that Rounds doesn’t win.
It will be with a plurality, unimpressive, but big deal. If rats wanna waste resources on this race, I hope they go for it.
