Rep. Baron Hill (D): 43%
Mike Sodrel (R): 42%

The Wilson Research Strategies poll also shows Sodrel in solid position in his May 4 primary with attorney Todd Young and activist Travis Hankins. Sodrel’s name recognition from four previous campaigns in the district has spurred him to a 46-19 lead over Hankins. Young, who is a member of the NRCC’s Young Guns program, is in third, at 13 percent.

In the general election, only 22 percent of voters say they will definitely vote to reelect Hill. That number was 28 percent in a Wilson poll in 2008, before Hill beat Sodrel 58-38 for a third victory in four matchups.

The more recent poll was conducted between Feb. 28 and March 3, before the healthcare vote and immediately after Hill declared that he wouldn’t run for the state’s open Senate seat.

The poll actually finds Sodrel a little worse-off than a SurveyUSA poll conducted for the liberal website Firedoglake.com in January. That poll had Sodrel leading 49-41.

I thought Hill wasn't running?

Wikipedia confirmed he is actually running. Hmm, this could be interesting. If the environment is right, like 2004, Sodrel can win. Obama not being on the ballot will certainly help him.

Weak poll for Sodrel. Republicans would be better off with a different candidate. Still, Hill is obviously vulnerable; not so much because he lost before, but because the demographics are changing in the wrong direction.
