A poll by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee gives Evan Bayh a 21-point lead over Republican challenger Todd Young.
Bayh announced he was entering the race last week.
The poll was 54% Bayh, 33% Young, 13% Undecided. The poll surveyed 602 likely voters and had a +/- margin of error of 4.1 %.
The DSCC would not released the crosstabs, however it said voters gave him a 55% job approval rating when he was Senator. And it said he had a 51% approval rating among Donald Trump supporters.
A spokesman for the young campaign released the following statement in regards to the poll, ” “It’s no surprise that Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer would release a poll showing their handpicked superlobbyist leading, but Evan Bayh cast the deciding vote for Obamacare then made millions defending corporations who paid him to oppose it. Hoosiers have a clear choice between a Marine who lives in Indiana and represents the interests of Hoosiers, and a lobbyist who lives in two Washington, D.C. mansions and only looks out for himself.”
