North Dakota`s candidates for insurance commissioner will be competing for undecided voters in the campaign`s final weeks.
In a poll commissioned by The Forum newspaper, 43 percent of the people surveyed said they haven`t made up their minds whether to vote for Republican Adam Hamm or Democrat Jasper Schneider.
Thirty-four percent of the people surveyed are backing Hamm, while 22 percent are favoring Schneider.
Both men are running their first statewide campaigns. Hamm was appointed as North Dakota`s insurance commissioner last year after incumbent Republican Jim Poolman resigned. Schneider is a Fargo attorney and first-term state representative.
The poll was done by the Public Affairs Institute of Minnesota State University Moorhead. Pollsters interviewed 606 likely North Dakota voters by telephone Oct. 6-8. The survey has a 4 percent sampling error margin. |
