What the Polls Didn’t Say
There are two new polls out concerning key races in Marion County. In the Marion County Prosecutor’s race, WTHR reports Carl Brizzi is ahead by 16 points and in the 7th Congressional District, Eric Dickerson leads Julia Carson by three points. There are a number of reasons as to why the polls say what they do, particularly since a poll released by WISH-TV showed strikingly different results.
What’s interesting though is that is the two top spots on the GOP local ticket are either tied or ahead, one could ask what this does for races further down the ballot, such as Clerk, Auditor, Recorder? If Brizzi or Dickerson have coattails it could help the rest of the ticket. One could even say the Sheriff’s race might be more compettitive than originally thought.
The conventional wisdom is that Marion County is trending more Democratic, the new polling data could sugest otherwise.
But the real poll happens Nov.7.
