Wow. Check out Mexico Joe's latest ad:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=29&v=VmD8fYF4Rzg

It's clear he's down bigly to Mike Braun if he's putting up overtly pro-Trump ads.

Cringe, Manchin has done something similar too, oh well, they have free pass cards to do anything to win, so do what's necessary ma bois.

What a poorly done ad. The part in the middle where Donnelly flimsily talks into the camera from driving the RV is just LOL

You can tell that was filmed in Indiana too because he kept hitting potholes every couple of seconds

LOL

The race is going to be very close. Gun to my head, Braun Donnelly wins.

Prediction: Donnelly +3, and the resident concern trolls lecture us about how it's a single poll and Bayh didn't win in 2016 and Indiana is Titanium R.

Regardless of the result, this will be the first real high-quality poll of the race post-primary.  I don't even remember if we had a high-quality poll pre-primary; but knowing Indiana's polling laws probably not.  Whatever we get will probably be our first real indication of where the race stands.

Personal opinion, but if Donnelly is behind by any more than two points then I don't see how he'd make up the deficit by election day as an incumbent.

We never got a decent poll for this race. In fact, we've only gotten 3 polls total throughout all of 2017 and 2018. Gravis, SurveyMonkey, and Trafalgar. lol

Watch it end up being another tie, since we've been getting a lot of those recently.

Reminder that the margin narrows as the Libertarian (who will surely get votes) is put into the equation. This is by no means over. Senator Evan Bayh would like to say hi.

The poll seems to show Donnelly getting what he needs, and from where he needs it. Doing well in Marion and the Northwest and keeping his losses down in small towns and other places. Pleasantly surprised.

He’s not. He was clearly better than the hacks he beat... but by beating those hacks people overrated his strength a little, I think

I wonder what this poll would've shown if Donnelly was up against Rokita. The GOP might have started considering triage, lol.

Comparing Donnelly to Bayh completely ignores the reason why Bayh lost. Bayh lost because:

A) Indiana swung hard for Trump
B) he was imploding because of his lobbying and the fact that he had just moved back to Indiana

Donnelly has neither of these problems. Based on the GCB and Trump's approval in the state, Indiana's 2016 Trumpslide was something of an anomaly. In addition, Donnelly has none of Bayh's personal problems. He's a sitting Senator, not a retread.

The difference is that Bayh started out in the polls as the victor but ended up as the underdog closer to the end.

Here, Donnelly started out as the underdog but seems to be climbing back up.

It didn't help that Bayh was the non-incumbent Senator who wasn't even running until that July.
