While my delusional friends on the far-right have championed a recent Rasmussen poll showing some unavoidably insane numbers from the Hoosier State, I'll put more stock in this soon-to-be released Research 2000 survey. The Hill chimes in with the scoop on what we're likely to see later today from our friends over at the Big Orange Mothership.
The Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll was sent around Sunday by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). It showed Coats leading Ellsworth 37 percent to 36 percent with 27 percent undecided among all those surveyed, but the poll has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
On the other hand, ex-Rep. John Hostettler (R), who is one of five GOPers seeking the nomination, leads Ellsworth 40 percent to 24 percent with 26 percent undecided.
The surveyed polled 600 likely voters in Indiana from Feb. 22-24. The party breakdown of the 600 likely voters is 41 percent Republican, 36 percent Democrat and 23 percent Independent.
Now, let's get one thing incredibly clear: Johnny Ho is no credible challenger in a general election. Brad Ellsworth has dismantled him once, and will no doubt do it again, but expect to see some pretty screwy numbers until the rest of the state gets to know the former congressman as well as his old district did before they unceremoniously kicked him to the curb.
