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

How much are the Rats paying Benton? I’ve lost count how many elections these losers have handed to the Dems. They know it they cannot win so they hand elections to people who are in direct conflict with what they claim is thier principals. Worthless hypocrites.
“The trend is your friend.”
Polling outfits are going to lose even more credibility this election than the last. Every election poll in the beginning of the race always has the Democrats far in the lead and then, come the 2 to 3 weeks before election day, the Republican “unexpectedly surges” but is still pegged as an unlikely win. Push polling will be the death of the polling industry.
I hope your correct. There are an equal number of Braun and Donnelly yard signs in my neck of the Hoosier state.
Pretty much. They almost always increase the poll numbers for Republicans when it gets close to Election Day because they don’t want to look too foolish when the election results come out. Only quibble I have with your post is, they usually put in the Republican “surge” in the polls in the very last week before actual voting.
For example, in 2016, ABC/WaPo still had Hilary winning by a massive 12 points with just 12 days to go.
I’d be willing to vote for Donnelly if he’d switch parties. Hasn’t he noticed the crowd he’s been hanging with?
“They almost always increase the poll numbers for Republicans when it gets close to Election Day because they don’t want to look too foolish when the election results come out.”
Right? It is getting ridiculous:
“Socialism is the new black!”
“the Republican candidate, ______ for ______ has unexpectedly surged before the election.”
“Republican _______ has been accused of groping his mother’s breast in the early 1970s!”
It is all about momentum. Just ask yourself, Which way have things been moving?
And remember 2016.
