According to Rasmussen, Thune has a 3 point edge over Daschle: rasmussenreports.com In SD Senate Race, Thune Leads Daschle 50% to 47% September 13, 2004--In his bid for re-election, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle has fallen slightly behind former Congressman John Thune. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds the Republican challenger earning 50% of the vote while Daschle attracts 47%. However, the 3-point advantage for Thune is well within the survey's 4.5 point margin of sampling error. Rasmussen Reports has not conducted a survey on this race since February. At that time, Daschle had a three-point lead. Thune leads 51% to 46% among men and 49% to 47% among women. Investors prefer Thune by a 53% to 45% margin. The survey also found President Bush leading Senator Kerry in the state by a solid 54% to 41% margin. This has no impact on our Electoral College projections since South Dakota is already in the GOP column. The President's Job Approval rating in the state is at 55%, a few points above his national average. Sixty-two percent (62%) believe he will be re-elected. Eleven percent (11%) of Bush voters plan to vote for Daschle. Thune is viewed favorably by 65% of South Dakota voters. Fifty-two percent (52%) have a favorable opinion of Daschle. Data released yesterday showed that Democrat Stephanie Herseth holds a three-point lead in her bid for a full term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
