Would anybody know where to get a recent presidential poll from Indiana?

[Indiana_Dem]

I've tried and tried to look/search for an Indiana state poll but I can't find one. Do they just assume everyone in Indiana is voting for Bush!?@? Seriously, I hate my state when it comes to the presidential elections. It's like there's some curse on the Dems or something. But I've seen SO much more activity and energy and yardsigns and bumperstickers that I just want to believe we are going to at least make a dent more than we usually do! Please! Please! Please! I would love just once in my lifespan to see my state go blue! Last it was blue was the year I was born--1964. Do you guys know what that feels like?!?!? OPRESSED.

5. I think Gore did better than that. Ugh! n/t

13. Gore got 41

compared to Bush's 57.

So Kerry is behind Bush by right around the same margin.

It is possible Bush is doing better in very red states though (states where he won by 15+ points in '00), because of cultural issues, the whole evangelical thing.

Fortunately, it won't matter. Bush can win Utah by 60 points, and it still wouldn't make a difference because in the end all that matters is doing well in the battlegrounds.

14. You would think with the influx of all the hispanics, we would have a

better chance. They just must not all be citizens yet or something.

12. I know it. Here, I've walked an average of 5 hours a day

for the last 3 days (not including the lit drop of my whole precinct the month before), stapled and prepared literature, distributed signs all over the city, phone banked, registered new voters, submitted absentee applications for people, setup rides to the polls, working the polls 16 hours on election day, and for what? My state is just going to lose it for the Dem candidate. I wanted to go to Ohio and help but my Dem chairman said I was needed here, which is true because they just don't have the people but is it really worth it here? I wish I would've gone ahead to Ohio where I could've made a difference. I'm sorry to rant but those poll numbers just make me mad.

8. Sorry fellow Hoosier

I feel your pain and frustration, and I agree that there is a lot more positive activity this year. But I just don't think we have the numbers here. Last poll I saw yesterday I think was +16 for bush. We'll make it closer than that, but we have a long way to go before Indiana is ever in play. Bayh is going to win handily though and Kernan has a good shot, so not everything is lost.

10. There has been talk of splitting the electoral votes--

do you think that could put us more into play? I think colorado was talking about doing that, too. I don't know much about it but we have to do something. This just isn't fair.

9. I spent a lot of time in Fort Wayne back in the early 90's

working at a top 30 radio station before the conglomerates started to buy every thing in sight....

Coming from the Cleveland area to FW was an experience. I couldn't believe how conservative everyone was. But I also noticed how repressed the people were and how that repression played out at the radio stations live remotes....

It was fun but wierd.....

Kind of like a time warp...

I went to Huntington, home of Dan Quayle, and that town was very proud of their first son....

Oh well, not everyone can live in the 21st century, it would just get to crowded......

11. Once all my ties are gone here, I am seriously thinking of moving.

I just have too many needy family members and a house that's almost paid off of which my other half will never want to move because of that alone. I would really love to live in a more liberal area. I was raised and grew up here but my family is so much more liberal than the rest of the population around here for some reason.

1. Well, I live in Ohio....

Not really that much better although I must say, your state runs better than ours...

But I live in the town I grew up in, and it is about 65-35 GOP...

It is aggravating and annoying but I love putting up my huge democrat signs right before the election and tell the cops that tell me to take it down that okay, I'll get the guys that put it up to take it down right away. That right away is alway 7:30 on election day.....

So I feel your pain.....

That's why this board, and BC are keeping me sane......
