We spend the hour with the SDSU Poll. The research unit has surveyed South Dakota voters about everything from whether an attorney general should be impeached to how COVID has impacted our lives.
Political scientists David Wiltse and Lisa Hager join us from South Dakota State University. We'll unpack last week's South Dakota governor debate and explore what "the life of the mother" truly means under the state's current abortion laws. We'll also look into new SDSU Poll results.
Each week we gather a couple of political junkies and cover a few topics that are currently being discussed. These are largely state issues but sometimes a national issue is talked about that has effects on local citizens.
A poll in July showed that support for the legalization of recreational marijuana for adults in the state has decreased. We break down the data with South Dakota Newswatch's Bart Pfankuch.
The Dakota Political Junkies join us for a look at top political news. We'll talk about hints from Kristi Noem interviews about traveling for abortion services, same sex marriage, and her potential ambitions for the White House. Dave Wiltse and Lisa Hager are with us.
