GOP: “Daniels Still Beats JLT”
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.
