Hoosier businessman and Senate Republican candidate Mike Braun has surged in the Indiana Senate race only two weeks before the November election, according to a poll released on Monday.
Sen. Joe Donnelly’s popularity has continued to plummet ever since he decided to vote against Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Since the Senate confirmation vote, the incumbent Democrat’s favorability and his polling has bottomed out.
According to a recent poll conducted by the Braun campaign from October 14-17, Braun leads Donnelly by 44 to 40 percent, with seven percent backing Lucy Brenton, and five percent of voters remain undecided.
The survey also found Braun leads with those having the highest level of enthusiasm for voting in the midterm elections, a seven-point advantage with those with high propensity voters, and a seven-point advantage with voters who have an opinion of both candidates.
The poll found that three-factor have led to Donnelly’s increasing vulnerability in the Indiana Senate race, which includes:
Donnelly’s inability to garner more than 40 percent ballot support.
Donnelly’s approval ratings have eroded to the point where roughly the same amount of Hoosiers approve as disapprove of the incumbent
Donnelly has a net unfavorable rating, while Braun gained a net favorable rating.
According to the poll, Braun has a 41 percent favorable rating, while the Hoosier businessman has a 34 percent unfavorable rating. In contrast, Sen. Donnelly has a 42 percent unfavorable rating, while 41 percent of Hoosiers have a negative view of the incumbent Democrat.
Further, 45 percent of Indiana voters believe that Donnelly serves as part of the “problem” in Washington, DC, compared to only 34 percent that the Democrat serves as part of the “solution” to America and Indiana’s problems.

Every close Senate race now seems to be breaking for the Republican. Is there any reason why the same thing isn’t happening in the House?
If we’re talking Pennsylvania, the liberal PA Supreme Court recently took it upon themselves to redraw the voting districts all by themselves! They have absolutely none, zero, no right to do so in the PA constitution, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Manchin is winning big according to a recent poll that I saw. Although, Manchin is probably my favorite Democrat if a Democrat has to win.
Settle down, Beavis!
Because nobody believes the polling data. Only data that is going to count is the election results.
This brown wave is going to make folks even more nervous.
I wished all the “Liebertarians” would GFT! They have always been nothing more than spoilers!
As a Hoosier resident, these polls are driving me crazy! We are seeing multiple poll results every day with numbers shifting by the hour. Not sure if any of these polls are accurate.
