| Description | A bipartisan survey released Thursday — as well as a handful of Democratic internal polls — show that the Indiana Senate race between state Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R) and Rep. Joe Donnelly (D) is very close and, as a result, we are moving the contest from “lean Republican” to “tossup.”
A Howey Politics Indiana/DePauw poll released Tuesday shows the race is even — with Donnelly at 40 percent and Mourdock at 38 percent. (The Howey survey was conducted by pollsters who know Indiana well — Democratic pollster Fred Yang and Republican pollster Christine Matthews.) Recent Democratic polls from Donnelly’s campaign and a super PAC supporting him tell a similar story.
Meanwhile, Republicans haven’t leaked polls in response to the Democratic releases, suggesting that what they are seeing may not be all that different from what Democrats are touting.
Our national Senate map is below with Indiana now in the “tossup” category. |
