Noem Holds Strong Lead over Robinson in Nielson Brothers Survey

Incumbent Republican Representative Kristi Noem holds an 18-point lead over
Democratic challenger Corinna Robinson in the July 23 - 28 Nielson Brothers
Polling/Northern Plains News (NBP/NPN) poll.

Rep. Noem led Robinson 54 percent to 36 percent with 10 percent undecided.

The NBP/NPN poll also asked respondents about Corinna Robinsons favorability
and name recognition. Among all likely voters polled, 10 percent had a
favorable response, 23 percent were unfavorable and 8 percent were
undecided. 59 percent did not recognize Robinsons name.

Republican voters have largely made up their minds, as 82 percent support
Noem, 12 percent support Robinson and 6 percent are undecided, says Paul
Nielson, partner in Nielson Brothers Polling.

Among Democrats, 68 percent support Robinson, 20 percent support Noem, with
12 percent undecided.

Independents split between the candidates, as 41 percent support Noem, 37
percent support Robinson, with 22 percent undecided

In spite of very low favorability and name recognition, Corinna Robinson is
drawing over 35 percent of support, reports Nielson. However, with Kristi
Noem currently reaching 54 percent of support, and with undecideds at just
over 10 percent, Robinson will need to change some minds as she increases her
recognition.

Over 18 percent of Democrats polled indicated a favorable response to
Robinson, with 19 percent unfavorable and 11 percent undecided. A
majority (51 percent) of Democrats questioned did not recognize Robinsons
name.

For Republicans, 5 percent had a favorable response to Robinson, with 25
percent unfavorable and 7 percent undecided. Nearly two-thirds (63 percent)
of Republican respondents did not recognize Robinsons name.

Among independents or those registered in a different party, 8 percent indicated
a favorable response, with 24 percent unfavorable and 4 percent undecided.
Like Republicans, nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of Independents/Other parties
did not recognize Robinsons name.

The survey did not ask about Kristi Noems favorability. Instead, NBP/NPN
asked about the representatives job approval, to be discussed in a later
release.
