SD: PPP: Rounds lead at six in poll for Weiland

[NHLiberal]

Following events in Alaska and Kansas, should Weiland drop out and let Pressler take on Rounds?

Having said that, Weiland has a decent, well funded campaign, unlike the Dems in Alaska and Kansas.

It's not really comparable because Orman and Walker were polling better than and out raising Taylor and Mallott; whereas Weiland is still ahead of Pressler in both of those regards and is the better candidate. If anything, Pressler should drop out for Weiland, but it's not clear who that would benefit or who he's taking the most votes from.

Orman and Walker were not polling better than Taylor and Mallott. Both Orman and Walker were still in a clear third place in recent polling, it's just that they had the money and the momentum.

This PPP internal from Weiland did test a Rounds/Weiland head to head, and found Rounds still up, but by a narrower 45-42. Obviously it did not test a Rounds/Pressler matchup!

You are correct. What I meant was that Orman and Walker were polling better in two-way match ups against the Republicans than Taylor and Mallott.
