EXCLUSIVE WTHR/HPI Poll: Trump, Clinton have small leads in Indiana, overall tight race

The results of the first statewide poll for Indiana’s upcoming primary show a small lead for party front runners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, with a tight race on both sides of the aisle.

The WTHR/HPI Indiana Poll has Trump with a 6-point lead over his closest challenger Ted Cruz. The poll indicates a record turnout will favor Trump over the other candidates.

The results prove just how pivotal Indiana's primary race is going to be nationally.

........................

The Democratic primary is even closer with Clinton holding a 3-point lead over Bernie Sanders (within the margin of error, making it a virtual tie). Hillary has a commanding lead with core Democrats but Sanders is leading with independents and first-time voters.

Democratic Presidential Primary

Hillary Clinton 48%
Bernie Sanders 45%

1. It's now HRC who has the wind at her back....

2. I'm surprised.

I'd thought Indiana would be a Sanders state.

Not that it matters at this point, really, but a tie or near-tie doesn't help him (and doesn't hurt her).

3. Exactly, he needs big wins for the rest of the primaries, I am counting

All vote s and delegates to the end. For all late primary voters, we still need your votes as much as the first primary.

7. So did I

I voted for Hillary a couple of days ago (Indiana has easy early voting with mail-in option). My vote counts in the primary (because of prorated delegates) but doesn't mean as much in the GE although it does count for Hillary's total votes. Go, Hill, go!

4. Because I live in Indiana

I've somewhat expected it to be close, but go to Sanders. But, this is encouraging! Plus that Evan Bayh endorsed her, carries weight!

5. I would disagree on Evan Bayh carrying weight on anything.

IMO he has lost a lot of support from the people that have voted for him. He is nothing like his dad and many of those that knew and voted for his dad are becoming a minority. In all likelihood Bayh probably recognized that he was losing his supporters when he decided not to run for re-election.

6. Here in Indiana it is an open primary.

At this point in time I doubt that independents will have a major play in the Democratic Primary. Not when they have the ruckus with the Republican Primary.

I also doubt there will be a record turnout for this election.
