Dangerous Opening for Indiana Democrats?

 Polling memo reveals risk for Indiana Republicans as they weigh redistricting 

The survey from left-leaning firm Change Research — which was commissioned by the nonpartisan nonprofit Count US IN, an Indiana-based nonprofit focused on increasing voter turnout and was obtained by POLITICO — shows several vulnerabilities for Republicans as Trump’s push to protect the GOP’s House majority sparks a nationwide redistricting arms race.

Fifty-two percent of registered voters in Indiana — which Trump won by 19 points last year — said they are against Republicans revising their maps, with 43 percent “strongly” opposing the effort.

That opposition rises to 60 percent after voters are informed of arguments for and against redistricting. The memo summarizing the survey breaks down some responses by party affiliation, but not all. The poll of 1,662 registered voters was conducted online between Aug. 18 to 21 and has a margin of sampling error of 2.6 percent.

I feel good that we still do not like Washington sticking its noses in our business.

Indiana Republicans face a choice of looking like political whores being pimped by Trump, or they can say we're not going to overplay our hand.
