Republican pollster forgets conservatives already running in South Dakota House race

Public Opinion Strategies (POS) is a Republican polling firm that ignored the two conservatives already running against Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson.
Johnson's campaign said Monday that a poll conducted [by] Public Opinion Strategies shows him with support from 54 percent of respondents, compared to 33 percent for Bjorkman and 10 percent undecided, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent. [Johnson's poll shows him leading by 21 points in House race]
Judge Tim Bjorkman's pollster Public Policy Polling is ranked fifth for accuracy while POS is ranked 25th.
PPP surveyed 641 registered South Dakota voters, 53 percent of them Republicans, from July 19-20. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.9 percent. The poll was conducted by automated telephone interviews. [Bjorkman: Poll from noteworthy source shows tightening race]
POS did discover only 37% of respondents view Howdy Doody favorably and hasn't published cross tabs indicating an extremely biased survey.
After all, in those nine swing states Public Opinion Strategies cited, the polls were all wrong in the same direction. [NPR]
Independent ratings firm Cook Political Report isn't even paying attention to the race for South Dakota's lone US House seat because the principled conservatives in the Constitution Party have yet to nominate their candidate.

Once again POS proves the only poll that matters is the one on 6 November.

If Ron Wieczorek takes 6% of the earth hater vote, George Hendickson takes 6% and the Constitution Party's candidate Neal Tapio takes an expected 10% Democrat Tim Bjorkman will win within the margin of error especially after it's been revealed earth hater Johnson has ties to the Russian mob.
