Indiana poll: Trump’s lead down to 4 points
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump leads Democrat Hillary Clinton by 4 points in Indiana, according to a new poll showing a tightening race in the Hoosier State.
Trump leads Clinton 45 to 41 percent among likely voters, according to the Monmouth University poll released Friday. Libertarian Gary Johnson has 9 percent support, while 5 percent remained undecided.
{mosads}Trump led Clinton by 11 points in the poll in August.
The latest survey finds Trump losing ground among women as multiple women have come forward this week accusing the business mogul of groping or kissing them without their consent.
Trump now trails Clinton 38 to 47 percent among women after leading her by 1 point in August, 44 to 43 percent. He continues to have a big lead among men, 52 to 34 percent.
“Trump’s support in his running mate’s home state was already eroding before the latest bombshell hit. The news that broke Wednesday seems to have driven those numbers even lower,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
On the Senate side, the survey found former Sen. Evan Bayh (D) with a 6-point lead over Rep. Todd Young (R), 48 to 42 percent.
Young’s campaign on Friday released their own poll that showed him in the lead for the first time, 40 to 39 percent.
The Monmouth survey of 402 likely Indiana voters was conducted Oct. 11–13 via landlines and cellphones with a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.
