New Gubernatorial Poll Looks A Lot Like 2012 Race

A new poll released by WTHR and Howey Politics shows the race for Indiana governor almost exactly where it ended four years ago. Gov. Mike Pence narrowly leads his Democratic opponent, John Gregg, by a 49-45% margin. In 2012, Pence defeated Gregg by a 49.6-46.4% margin. Pence is viewed favorably by 44% of the voters compared to 41% who view him unfavorably. Pence's name recognition, 94%, is double Gregg's name recognition score.

Local and state level Hoosier RINO "R" so-called elites drove me away from the Party they use for self-interest, poayola, cronyism, and prostitution of the law against the people.

Like the millions who have voter-regret for casting a ballot for the America-hating BO, I am bitter toward my now-understand foolish mistake in once voting for Mike Pence.

I will never ever vote for a Democrat but by God I will never ever vote again for Mike Pence.

I hope Mike Pence loses and I hope Mike Pence loses BIG.

I'm not voting for Pence, and I'm a "R" the condition of the Interstates around Indianapolis is a travesty, there are many dangerous pot holes in the pavement that are a danger to us motorcycle riders, One rider has been killed this year do to the under-performance of our INDOT! this might sound trivial or silly, what other Department in State Government that have bean counters rather than efficient managers? just to make the Governor look good?

We do better with entrails of birds than rigged and useless polls. I've also heard of success with
rolling out pig's knuckles by witch doctors. Then, there are weather forecasts...

If Pence is to be defeated it will take a dynamic Democrat to do it. Gregg looks like a giant cream puff with a mustache. Gregg's campaign seems to be centered on look I am not Mike Pence, hardly a campaign to inspire the troops.

Word on the street is that Cruz will announce the selection of Carly Fiorina as his running mate at 4 pm today. Please recall when Fiorina stood against all the furor over the RFRA. She is not pro LGBTQ rights. Cruz is gambling that selecting her will win over enough evangelicals in Indiana to beat Trump. It is worth remembering that Pence screwed the Indiana evangelicals by scuttling RFRA to appease the Corporations. By Cruz taking Fiorina should be taken by Pence as a slap in the face but Pence likely couldn't care less. Cruz is a slime that would stuff his mom in a microwave oven it meant more cash and votes. In any event, this will be interesting to see if Indiana evangelicals buy the Cruz-Fiorina pig in a poke. Just more of Lyin' Ted waving the Bible in the air for political gain. He's destitute at hell at this point so what the hell.
