In recent days, the blog buzz in the Indiana Senate race has been about a poll nobody’s seen. Erick Erickson of Redstate described it this way:<\/p>\n
“There is a rumor of a poll that went out in Indiana that was then not made public. Well, heck, I only call it a rumor because it happened but nobody wants to talk about it. My guess is, based on the Coats campaign\u2019s behavior, the poll was either done for them or the results then given to them, making it an NRSC poll. That it has not been leaked means it could not be good news for Dan Coats.”<\/p>\n
It turns out there IS a poll. It IS coming out tomorrow (April 29th). It IS a Survey USA poll (as many speculated\/guessed\/reported). But it IS NOT a Dan Coats internal poll. It was commissioned by the (take a deep breath before saying this aloud) Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University Ft. Wayne. <\/em><\/p>\n The release of the poll is scheduled for Thursday “morning”. When I get it. I WILL post it.<\/p>\n This poll will be out just five-days before Primary Day (May 4th). The five-candidate GOP battle for the party nomination between Coats, Marlin Stutzman, John Hostettler, Richard Behney and Don Bates, Jr. has divided the Republican vote so well that many party regulars refuse to be quoted on their guess as to who might give the victory speech Tuesday night.<\/p>\n The winner gets Democrat Brad Ellsworth in the general election come November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In recent days, the blog buzz in the Indiana Senate race has been about a poll nobody’s seen.
