(7,277 posts)45% approval for Trump is more like a ceiling than a springboard.

(6,377 posts)So having a poll with just two options seems slightly off. Gravis had a poll that came out yesterday with Donnelly up 4, and the third party candidate getting 7 percent.
There's definitely more energy here for Donnelly though, I can tell that through canvassing.

(13,340 posts)I think Donnelly is the best that can get elected statewide.
I've met and talked to him a number of times. He's more progressive privately than publicly, but he knows the state's politics.

Evan Bayh - schmuck.
The energy is positive here - but I am in the bluedot of Bloomington. Glad to hear/read there is good energy in other areas as well.
PS keep an eye on the 9th. I have a sneaking suspicious that Liz Watson can get to striking distance of CarpetBagger Tres Hollingsworth.
