Indiana Poll: HRC: 54% BS: 41%
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton leads rival Bernie Sanders by 13 percentage points in Indiana, according to statewide polling conducted by IPFW.
Clinton was favored by 54 percent of respondents and Sanders by 41 percent, with 5 percent undecided.
IPFW's Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics found that more than 94 percent of Clinton's supporters said they probably would vote for Sanders if he were the Democratic nominee in the general election, while only 75 percent of Sanders' backers said they would vote for Clinton if she were the nominee.
Downs Center director Andy Downs said Wednesday that Sanders "is drawing in a group of voters who are not necessarily traditional Democratic primary voters and in some instances not traditional voters, either."
Among poll respondents younger than 35, roughly 61 percent favor Sanders, according to the survey. Among respondents 65 and older, 73 percent are voting for Clinton.
Downs and IPFW political scientist Michael Wolf presented their preliminary poll results at a panel discussion at the Helmke Library. They said the telephone survey of 400 likely voters was conducted April 18-23 and has a 4.9 percent margin of error.
