Poll: A (NOT SO) SURPRISING RUN-OFF South Dakota voters will choose between Toby Doeden and Larry Rhoden in a runoff election in July after no candidate reached the required threshold in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Did this result surprise you?

Yes, I was surprised there will be a runoff.

No, I was not surprised by the runoff but WAS surprised by the top two vote-getters

No, I expected a runoff and these finalists.
