Survey of 800 likely voters was conducted October 28-30, 2012, by Republican
pollster Christine Matthews, the president of Alexandria, Va.-based
Bellwether Research, and Democratic pollster Fred Yang, of D.C.-based
Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group. The margin of error is
+/- 3.5 percentage points. Party ID: 45% [43%] Republican; 34% [38%] Democrat; 21% [19%] Independent. Results from the poll conducted September 19-20 and 23, 2012 are in square brackets. Results from the poll conducted March 26-28, 2012 are in parentheses.
Inside the numbers:
Mourdock has not consolidated his GOP base. He is only polling 70% of the Republican vote, an indicator that he never brought in the Lugar wing of the GOP, nor did the campaign attempt to try, instead sending out a post-primary fundraising letter citing Lugar’s “betrayal” to conservatives. In the September survey, Mourdock was polling only 71% of the GOP. Mourdock is only polling 31.5% of the female vote and just 77% of his base, the Tea Party.
Donnelly has consolidated Democrats, winning 88% of the vote among his own party.
In the Republican-rich doughnut counties, Mourdock's fav/unfavs stood at 30/50%. With independent women he stood at 12/48% and with independent men, 23/51%. Donnelly’s fav/unfav in the doughnut was 36/32% and with independent women, 31/16%.
In the Indiana Congressional Districts, Mourdock has his strongest support in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 9th districts where he barely polls above 40%. Mourdock only has 29% support his home 8th district. In comparison, Donnelly leads in all districts except the 3rd and 4th.
