Here in Indiana the polls have the candidates splitting the vote.
Here are the numbers, according to a new Indy Star/WTHR poll: Barack Obama's ahead slightly, with 46% compared to John McCain's 45%.
This is the third poll in the Hoosier State this week that shows a neck-and-neck race.
Indiana's gone Republican in presidential races since 1968.
Don't know the internals.
A lot depends on turnout in Indiana. Bush took it 60-39 in ‘04.
Ind. is staying Republican
BS poll. An electorate doesn’t change like that.
Mitch Daniels is polling something like 60%, I can’t see how people would vote for him & not McCain.
McCain by +3.
State polls are almost irrelevant at this point.
There is usually a lag between national trends and their appearance in state numbers. When McCain starts to close, it will be shown in national numbers—not states.
The polls are meaningless! Especially since there is a chance that large numbers of Democrats are going to vote Republican this year!
Most populace county in Indiana...Marion County 51% Kerry
Second most populace county...Lake County 61% Kerry
Porter County 45% Kerry
St. Joseph County 48% Kerry.
Demographics have charged greatly in NW and N Indiana. St. Joseph County is experiencing massive lay-offs due to the downturn in the RV industry. It was reported just yesterday that Whirlpool is laying off and another RV company is shutting their doors.
The airwaves are blanketed with Hussein ads and Hussein makes his 48 visit to the state today. the McCain presence in ads is zero. People really should be worried about Indiana turning blue.
McCain will win Indiana. It may be a little closer this time.
It is clear.....REAL Americans are the minority now.
I know that THIS Hoosier is voting McCain/Palin!!!
First, there ARE McCain and RNC ads so the presence isn’t zero. Plus, people may be getting sick of non-stop Obama ads they know he is running just because he can. We are NOT going for Obama in Indiana.
AMEN!!! The TON of McCain and Mitch yard signs aren’t for nothing. Also, the last couple of days I have seen the Obama yard signs on my route to work coming down!
There are absolutely ZERO McCain or RNC ads running in NWI.
I wouldn’t waste any money there if it was me. Lost cause.
...but have you signed up for the phone bank. I’ve made 160 calls in the last 3 days for McCain/Palin.
How has the response been?
Good job!
Honestly...not very encouraging...breaking to Hussein @ around 55%. My calls are to the Fort Wayne area. Bush carried Fort Wayne @63% in 2004 but again the economy has tanked hard and fast in Fort Wayne in the last 6 months
