Someone posted this link over on Sioux Sports. This week there are four state wide ballot measures during the primary for North Dakota voters to vote on. One of the more emotionally heated issues is Ballot Measure four on whether the University of North Dakota's sports teams will remain the Fighting Sioux or not. A "Yes" vote means you that you want University of North Dakota to retire the Fighting Sioux nickname. A "No" vote means that you want University of North Dakota to retain the Fighting Sioux nickname.
Posted above is a screen shot of the Ballot Measure 4 polling numbers. A state wide poll was conducted by a national polling firm, Mason-Dixon during last week. It would appear that the Yes vote on ballot measure four has almost 60 percent of the vote, but we will wait and see how Tuesday's vote turns out. A lot of things can happen and it would be interesting to see how they conducted their poll on. Polls conducted on likely voters are more accurate than a simple poll of potential voters.
Based on the numbers it would appear that women voters are more in favor of a the University of North Dakota dropping the Fighting Sioux nickname than men; Republicans seem to be more in favor of UND retaining the Fighting Sioux nickname than Democrats and Independants.
