Indiana is a pretty RED state. As a state, I think we keep a pretty low profile and go about our business. I’ve always said, “Indiana has some of the best kept secrets in the country.” And it’s true.
We manage to stay pretty red by quietly discouraging migration from Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. We want their jobs, not their liberal citizens. hee hee
Yes but Obama won IN by a couple of thousand votes in 2008.
A 14% lead is good!!
Obama carried Indiana in 2008.
Correct, IN is a good signal of the intensity with the +4 over previous election results. it says a few things things, either the stay-at-home voters are turning out this time, the Blue Collar Dems are switching or a combo of both. Would have to dig further to determine how much of each is true.
Right.
We tend to forget that.
We should remember also that assuming Trump can win all the Romney states, then he only needs to flip 63 or so EVs to win.
Very strong polling the last few days in NH, IN and OH are good steps in that direction.
“One armed man”
Wake me up when ILL-ANNOY is in play. Maybe my vote will count this time.
Trump is practically made for IN.
Not a culture warrior, his focus is on bread-and-butter issues, such as restoration of the US manufacturing sector. IN has a higher % of employment in manufacturing than any other state.
Wouldn't the more meaningful comparison be a comparison of this poll, to a similar poll in July 2012?
I have said for some time now, “For Trump to win (or any republican) in a General Election, 2 things HAVE to happen.
1) Democrats have to be disenfranchised and either not vote or split their vote with a 3rd party.
&
2) Republican Voters must be enthusiastic about their candidate.
Why? Democrats can be motivated to the polls with goodies, events, bus rides, cigarettes, hand outs and cash. It’s a matter of how much democrats can afford to spend to find the voters and drive them to polling stations. Republicans don’t work like that. Republicans don’t get the “government dependency vote”. If the Middle Class voting democrats show up to vote, Republicans lose. It’s a numbers game today.
By the way, we have all these “victim” classes of people. The Republicans need to create one of their own victim classes. They should call it “Government Dependents”. Then they need to constantly remind them how horrible it is to be dependent on the government.
WOOHOO!!! GO.TRUMP/PENCE.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
PING....
Excellent news!!!
Woo hoo!!!
Thank you, Indiana :)
Sweet!
Now wait. I have it on very good authority that Trump can’t beat Mrs. Clinton.
The Cruz folks repeated that on the forum thousands of times.
This can’t be right!
/s
But we need more, looking at the map. FL is an absolute must, as are all the Southern states. Any polling data on the other states we need to pick off, like CO or NM?
There wouldn’t have been much of a series if JD Cannon would have done something to stop the guy or spoke up to Gerard.
We’re 50%. We’re 50%.
Actually I think they forgot to poll the rural area of the state.
I’ve not been able to find a single HILLAry supporter. Even a democrat HILLAry supporter . Particularly a gun owning HILLAry supporter.
Trump is running more like Bush did in 2008 than Romney did in 2012. And they said Trump would hurt the down ballots.
Kelly Ayotte (R) in NH was supposed to be in the battle of her career to hold her seat; Trump is up by 9 points in NH and she is up by 7.
Pennsylvania Senate race - Toomey was supposed to be in tough re-elect battle, up by 10, Trump up by 3
Florida Senate race- Rubio, who was almost written off is up by 8, Trump up by 4
