Only 16 Indian voters were contacted for a new South Dakota poll but almost all of them say they will vote for incumbent Rep. Stephanie Herseth, a Democrat.
Of the 16 Indians contacted by Zogby International, 14 supported Herseth. The other two favored Republican Larry Diedrich.
Overall, Herseth had an 8.5-point lead over Diedrich. She beat him in a special U.S. House election in June that saw Indian voter turnout increase on some reservations. The overwhelming majority of Indians supported Herseth.
