Donnelly has surged. He was up 7 in the most recent FOX News poll and up 3 in the NBC/Marist poll - giving him the lead in the two most recent polls. I really thought Donnelly was DOA.
Bam!

(14,565 posts)Somewhat strange state in that the electorate is heavily white (83%) and with a big Republican registration edge, but not overly conservative. The 38-22 split among self-identified conservatives and liberals is not a disaster compared to the national number of 36-27.
It would be disastrous to lose incumbents in states with fewer than 40% conservatives. The examples are Indiana and Florida. Also New Jersey, although that one seems less problematic.

L.C. is heavily union and has a lot of minorities. Donnelly hurt himself with Hispanics in the region with his willingness to support change birthright citizenship at the debate. I have friends in the region and they say there are a lot of unhappy people in E.C. and Hammond over it.
He needs L.C., Indianapolis and St Joseph's
