IN-Gov: New Polls & MMM’s Reagan Heresy

(From the diaries – promoted by DavidNYC)

From the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (likely voters, 4/14-16):

Jill Long Thompson (D): 47%

Jim Schellinger(D): 41%

Undecided: 12%

(MoE: ±4.2%)

Jim Schellinger (D): 46%

Mitch Daniels (R-inc.): 47%

Jill Long Thompson (D): 47%

Mitch Daniels (R-inc.): 48%

(MoE: ±2.8%)

“My Man Mitch” Daniels also uttered a heretical statement in front of a group of Republicans, stating that it’s “time to let Ronald Reagan go.”

  1. WOW!  With comments like that, Daniels will be as popular with the Indiana Republican Party as me, a gay, Atheist, liberal Democrat from Georgia.

  2. It must be liberal, gay, atheist night at SSP, only this one is from Boston and has a red beard.  Do I get extra points for that?

    Does the toll-road issue still rankle?  Is either of the Dems well known and provide serious competition?  Also what’s the situation with the freshman Congressmen?  Will they need substantial DCCC and/or other financial support?

  3. Many thanks, Indiana Progressive, for the update!  I guess your report is mostly good news.  

    At the same time it was the Hill-Sodrel race that I was most concerned about.  I can recall election night in ’06 desperately trying to find info about what was happening.  I knew they’d swapped seats about every two years for some time and considered it a bell weather.  Knowing a bit of their history, I wondered if it is likely to repeat itself (again).  I am hoping that Hill won’t need outside financial support since there are so many others that I want to contribute to.

    I hope you might keep us updated here about Hill-Sodrel.

    Thanks again!
