Bush's Re-elect number under 50% in South Dakota [View All]

[CMT]

A new Mason-Dixon Poll indicates that support for George W. Bush is weakening in South Dakota. While Bush is still favored to carry the state he may have some work to do.

49% of South Daokotans said they would vote to re-elect Bush
26% said they would definitely replace Bush with a Democrat
22% said they would consider a Democrat.

Bush's approval rating is still good at 61% but it is down 12-points since September of 2002. Meanwhile those who feel Bush is doing a poor job has risen from 8% to 20%.

Tom Daschle has a 57/21 percent approval rating and in a head to head race with 2002 GOP senate candidate John Thune Daschle wins narrowly 48-46 percent.
