POLL WATCHING
There is a new poll out on Survey USA concerning the Democratic primary for the race for the Presidency as well as the race for Governor. The Schellinger camp and Long Thompson camp are spinning this puppy more than the guy at the yo-yo factory, so I will give you the basic facts and you can go from there.
Schellinger leads Long Thompson 41-39 with 20% undecided. Schellinger does better with 18-34 year olds (48-37-15) ; Long Thompson 50-64 year olds (41-37-21). Long Thompson does better with Blacks (40-35-25).
When it comes to regions of Indiana, Long Thompson does better in the north (52-31-17); Schellinger does better in Central Indiana (45-32-22). He also does better in Indianapolis (44-35-21) and southern Indiana (50-28-22).
Some other details about the poll include the following according to SurveyUSA:
The poll was conducted exclusively for WHAS-TV Louisville KY and WCPO-TV Cincinnati OH. The survey has a 4.3 percent margin of sampling error.
Schellinger leads by 21 among men. Long Thompson leads by 13 among women — a 34-point Gender Gap. Long Thompson leads by 21 points in Northern Indiana. Schellinger leads by 22 in Southern Indiana, by 13 in Central Indiana and by 9 in greater Indianapolis. The race is closely contested, and neither candidate far ahead, among young and old; black and white; Republican, Independent and Democrat; Conservative, Moderate and Liberal. Schellinger has a slight advantage among those who attend church regularly and those who are Pro-Life. 1 in 5 voters are undecided. The contest could go either way.
The poll also showed Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama 52-43.
