Poll shows strong public support for removal of Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg

https://www.yahoo.com/news/poll-shows-strong-public-support-203311388.html

As the South Dakota Legislature prepares to undertake impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg, who killed a pedestrian with his car in 2020, a new poll shows that a strong majority of state residents is in favor of removing him from office.

The late October poll of 500 registered voters in South Dakota showed that 66.8% of respondents strongly or somewhat support the removal of Ravnsborg by the Legislature, with 13.8% opposed and 19.4% undecided. Of all 500 respondents, 44.6% were strongly in favor of removal.

When the undecided respondents are removed, support for removal is even stronger, with 82.8% of those who have formed an opinion supporting removal.

Political party affiliation was not a major factor in difference in responses, with 72.3% of Democrats supporting removal; 65.6% of Independents supporting removal; and 64.3% of Republicans in support of removal.

After he killed the man, he actually tried to blame the dead guy by saying he was "depressed and suicidal" ...if losing his job is the worst thing that happens, he's still getting off scott free...
