GOP: ?Daniels Still Beats JLT?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Indiana Republicans are touting an internal poll showing incumbent Mitch Daniels with an 18-point lead over Democratic challenger Jill Long Thompson.  A survey of 500 likely voters shows Daniels leading JLT 53-35, with a margin of error of +/- 4.3%.

Republicans also say Daniels’ approval rating is 60-30 favorable/unfavorable.  He’s made gains among southern Indiana voters.  He is still weakest in the northern part of the state and strong in the Central region.

The poll was conducted August 3-5.
