General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[3]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[4]^[5]^[6]

This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in South Dakota.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in South Dakota in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 22, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Two candidates filed to run for South Dakota's one U.S. House seat in 2022. The filing deadline for this election was March 29. This was the fewest number of candidates to file for the seat since 2016 (when there were also two candidates). Three candidates ran for the seat in 2020, and six candidates ran in 2018.

Here are some other highlights from this year’s filings:

This was the second election cycle in a row with no Democratic candidate on the ballot.
Because it had only one U.S. House seat, South Dakota did not need to redistrict after the 2020 census
Rep. Dusty Johnson (R) ran for re-election. He was elected in 2018 when Kristi Noem (R) retired to run for governor.

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
