A poll published April 3, 2008 indicated that Obama was supported by more respondents, 46%, than Clinton, who received the support of 34%.[2] However, a May 31-June 1, 2008 poll by ARG projected a Clinton victory in South Dakota, with 60% of respondents supporting her versus 34% supporting Obama..[3]

On the day the vote was held, before polls closed, the Associated Press projected Barack Obama's nomination for the presidency based on exit polls of South Dakotans and the declarations of several Democratic superdelegates.[4]
