Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.) holds a 7-percentage-point advantage over her top Republican challenger, Secretary of State Chris Nelson, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.
Herseth Sandlin leads Nelson by a margin of 45 percent to 38 percent, with 11 percent of voters undecided. That's the same lead the congresswoman posted in December in a Public Policy Polling survey, which had her topping Nelson 46 percent to 39 percent.
Herseth Sandlin is stronger against two other GOP challengers who lack Nelson's statewide profile, leading state Rep. Kristi Noem, 49 percent to 34 percent, and state Rep. Blake Curd, 53 percent to 31 percent.
