Atlas Forum Bubble Mentality: Pressler or Weiland, of course!

Reality: the guy that was always going to win.

Literally one person out of sixty voted for Weiland in the poll.

Literally one person out of eighty voted for Weiland in the poll.
More importantly - 4/5 think Rounds will win in the end.

Rounds is clearly still favored, but the dynamics of a three-way race like the result really hard to predict. A lot of times what happens is that whoever is clearly viewed as being the third place candidate about a week or two out from election day will suffer a catastrophic collapse of support. If further polling confirms that Pressler has fully supplanted Weiland as the viable opposition, then I'd expect the floor to fall out from beneath Weiland's numbers in the final week of the campaign in which case Pressler would have a really good chance of pulling this off. If, on the other hand polls continue to show Weiland not far behind Pressler, or show Weiland and Pressler jockeying back and forth for second place, then they'll continue to split the vote and Rounds will probably win.

Because three-way races can be volatile, there's a very good chance that SD polling will lag too far behind reality to capture the final shifts in the endgame. The numbers on election night could be markedly different from whatever the final polls show.

Do you not see the poll results? You either need to get a new browser or stop complaining about the twelve people who don't think rounds will win compared to the forty four who do.

Twelve people being a cancer on this place still means there's cancer.

Just ignore him, Flo.  There is no point feeding trolls.

You said that the forum is saying Presser's going to win while the poll says the opposite thing.

Pressler said he'll be a "friend of Obama."

Oops.  There's a Rounds or RSCC ad just waiting to be made there.  Obama's approval rating in South Dakota must be somewhere just above Ebola and ISIS.

Rounds will probably end up winning by a less than expected margin.
