McDermott campaign poll shows tight Indiana Senate race/Roe Roe Roe your vote is working!

A poll released to IndyStar by Democrat Thomas McDermott Jr.'s campaign shows that the Senate race against Republican Sen. Todd Young could be closer than expected.

According to crosstabs on the poll conducted Aug. 20-24 by California-based Change Research, 45% of the 2,111 likely voters surveyed said they would vote for Young in November, while 42% said they would vote for McDermott in November. The remaining 13% surveyed said they either were unsure or wouldn't vote. Libertarian James Sceniak was not included in the survey.

There was a margin of error of 2.62 percentage points.

thing about him when he was the mayor of Hammond. I am eagerly anticipating voting for him (and getting rid of that moron, Young) in November!

this is a potentially good sign. Wow. I didn't really even know who was running on the D side let alone if they even had any kind of chance.

we get our tv stations and our news from Chicago so we rarely see political ads for people we can actually vote for and if we want to know who is running we have to search for the info. McDermott will do a great job, I'm sure. He was the mayor of Hammond for a long time and he did good things for that city. I can't wait to vote for him!

since Bayh, who might as well have been a republican. He was awful. McDermott isn't, so I'm excited about him.
