Pence Campaign; “We’re Up by Nine”

Less than one week after his Democratic opponent John Gregg released a poll showing Republican Gubernatorial candidate  Mike Pence with only a six-point lead, the Pence campaign says its internals show them with a nine-point lead going into the Election.

The four night tracking poll of more than 1200 voters shows Pence leading 47-36 over Gregg.  Libertarian Rupert Boneham has been polling at about 5 percent.  10 percent of voters say they are undecided.

The poll was conducted October 25-28 and sampled about 300 likely voters each night.  The aggregate margin of error for the poll for all four nights was +/- 2.8%.

The poll taken on October 28 showed Pence with a 48-36 lead.  The Pence camp also says they were leading among women, 50-33 and were competitive with independent voters: Gregg - 36, Pence - 31, Undecided - 22.

The Pence campaign says the poll took into account geography as well as voter demographics. 

The Gregg poll showed Pence leading 44-38.  A poll was also done on behalf of the Libertarian Party of Indiana.  It surveyed only Marion County residents.  It showed Pence with a 5-point lead over Gregg and Boneham was in double digits.

A poll by Howey Politics and DePauw University will be out this Friday.
