In the first head-to-head numbers in the Indiana gubernatorial race, U.S. Rep. Mike Pence had a 44-31% lead over former Democratic House speaker John Gregg, with 5% backing Libertarian Rupert Boneham. Gregg's problem is that 71% of the general election voters have not heard of him. Of those who have, his fav/infavs stood at 10/4%. Pence's fav/unfavs in this survey stood at 32/20% with 30% having never heard of him. Among the Republican primary voters, Pence's fav/unfavs stood at 57/5%. In 1996, Lt. Gov. O'Bannon trailed Republican Stephen Goldsmith by a larger margin than Gregg trails Pence. Pence's challenge will be that anemic 10% approval rating for Congress.
