New Poll: Jackley Holds Massive 52-Point Lead in Congressional Race
Pierre, SD – A new independent poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Strategy and Polling reveals Attorney General Marty Jackley with a commanding 52-point lead over his opponents in the race for Congress. Jackley leads his closest competitor by 57% to 5%.
This latest poll shows an increase from late June, when independent polling indicated Jackley held a 43-point advantage, demonstrating growing support as the race progresses.
Jackley’s dominance extends beyond the polls. He has shattered fundraising records, recently filing his first quarterly campaign finance report for Congress. The report shows he raised $525,760 and has $503,279 cash on hand. This amount represents a staggering 155% more than any other candidate in South Dakota has raised in their first fundraising quarter for a House of Representatives campaign.
Remarkably, Jackley has raised more than twice the combined total of his four opponents.
“I’m proud of the momentum that continues to build for our campaign,” said Marty Jackley. “It is a testament to the hard work we put in for South Dakota every single day and the strong grassroots support we have across the state.”
Jackley highlights his conservative credentials as a key factor in his lead.
“The polling shows the voters know that I am the only true conservative in this race,” Jackley stated. “I serve on President Trump’s America First Attorney General Advisory Council, and I’m the only candidate who endorsed President Trump in the primary. I’ve built a relationship with the White House to push a conservative America First agenda and deliver results for South Dakota.”
With record-breaking fundraising and substantial leads in independent polls, Jackley continues to build strong momentum and remains the clear favorite in the Congressional race.
An October 28, 2025, Cook Political Report story underscores Jackley’s strong position, stating, “Jackley is dominant enough that any opponent will have a tough time knocking him off course.”
