A new internal poll conducted for the re-election campaign of Gov. Mitch Daniels shows he has an 18 percent lead. TargetPoint Consulting has just completed the most extensive voter opinion survey ever conducted for the Mitch for Governor campaign, the campaign said in an e-mail to supporters. The poll, conducted from July 13-22, found Gov. Daniels leads Jill Long Thompson 53-35% in the head to head match-up. "This is an increase over the June Bellwether survey where Daniels enjoyed a statewide favorable rating of 57 percent and led the head to head matchup 50-36 percent," the campaign told supporters. "Governor Daniels enjoys significant support from Democrats, independents, African Americans, women, and first time voters. The polling indicates that Jill Long Thompson continues to lose ground in Northern Indiana where people know her from her many campaigns for Washington D.C. offices. In addition, she is still relatively unknown in Southern Indiana. With only 99 days until the election, we learned today that Jill Long Thompson’s first ad of the general election campaign will begin tomorrow and will include a negative attack against Gov. Daniels," the e-mail said. "This is not surprising given her desperate position and long history of negative campaigning." The next Howey-Gauge Poll will be released at the Indianapolis Chamber’s annual Hobnob at the Indiana State Museum from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday Sept. 4.
