Mayor Huether Receives 62 Percent Approval Among Sioux Falls Voters, While 48 Percent See Sioux Falls Going in Right Direction

62 percent of Sioux Falls voters approve of the job of Mayor Mike Huether, according to the Nielson Brothers Polling (NBP) October 26-27 survey. In the poll of likely Sioux Falls municipal voters, 21 percent say they “strongly approve,” and 41 percent “somewhat approve” of the mayor’s performance. On the other hand, 21 percent say they “somewhat disapprove” and 16 percent “strongly disapprove.” The 62 percent is a 7 percent drop in approval from a May NBP survey of registered Sioux Falls voters and appears to reflect a change in intensity of opinion. Respondents who “somewhat approve” drop by 10 percent, compared with a 3 percent rise in “strongly approve” responses, and a 6 percent rise for “strongly disapprove.”
