SDPB Survey Shows Equal Distribution of Political Ideologies, Support of Medicaid Expansion, and Disparities to Access and Affordability of Health and Education Resources A new survey released by South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB) shows a relatively equal distribution of political ideologies from across an “extremely conservative to extremely liberal” spectrum among South Dakota residents, wide support of Medicare/Medicaid expansion, and several other key findings. The survey was conducted in the fall of 2020 by SDPB and the Chiesman Center for Democracy at the University of South Dakota, with the support of a Coming Home: Connecting to Community grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Over 1,000 South Dakotans from 27 communities chosen to represent the economic, cultural and geographic diversity of South Dakota responded to the online survey. The survey contained 49 open- and closed-ended questions about community structure, economic status, healthcare, news consumption, voting behavior and fake news. Respondents were also asked several open-ended questions which allowed them to elaborate on their experiences in the communities. SDPB and the Chiesman Center also conducted online focus groups with residents of several rural South Dakota communities and tribal nations. SDPB News has produced several news stories related to the data findings, including stories on the availability and affordability and accessibility of childcare in the state, reasons people may choose to no longer live in South Dakota, and South Dakotan’s support of expanding public medical programs.
