Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group (D):

Joe Donnelly 45
Richard Mourdock 43
Undecided 12

Congressman Donnelly’s lead is more impressive given that he still lags behind Mourdock in statewide name recognition (58% recognize Donnelly, 74% recognize Mourdock), and in fact, Donnelly leads 49% to 44% among Hoosiers who know BOTH candidates.
