SD Governor Approval Rating | SD Governor’s COVID-19 Responce | SD Governor Political Travel | President’s COVID-19 Responce
This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy from October 19 – 21, 2020. A total of 625 registered voters in South Dakota were interviewed statewide by telephone. All stated they are likely to vote in the November general election.
Those interviewed were selected randomly from a telephone-matched South Dakota voter registration list that included both land line and cell phone numbers. Quotas were assigned to reflect voter turnout by county.
The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than ± 4 percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the “true” figure would fall within that range if all voters were surveyed. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or age grouping.
Results from the poll will be released on Sunday, Oct. 25; Tuesday, Oct. 27; and Wednesday, Oct. 28. This page will be updated as new results are released. Hover over the chart pieces to view exact percentages for each response.
