Pharos Research Group did a live call poll of 753 likely voters in Indiana from
October 26, 2012 through October 28, 2012. The breakdown was 364 men, 389
women, representing a 48%/52% split. There were 263 self-identified Democrats,
354 self-identified Republicans and 136 Independents representing a 35/47/18
split.
The numbers read like this: in the general election for President, 42% of
respondents indicated an intention to vote for President Barack Obama, while 55%
indicated a preference for Republican nominee Willard “Mitt” Romney. In the
United States Senate race, 47% prefer the Democratic nominee, Congressman Joe
Donnelly, while 46% chose Republican standard-bearer, state Treasurer Richard
Mourdock.
The race in the Hoosier State is becoming uncompetitive as many expected, and
Romney appears to be consolidating his support. Barring an enormous sea-change,
Romney will convert Indiana back to the red side in a little a week.
In the Senate race, the race remains very close, and inside of the margin of error.
Where Mourdock appeared to be gaining traction, our polling would seem to
confirm that his statements on Tuesday stopped that in its’ tracks. Still, Indiana is
a very red state, and the race continues to be inside of the margin of error.
