Public Policy Polling
Obama�s lead in the state is being fueled largely by voter concern about the economy. 60% of respondents list it as their biggest issue when deciding who to vote for this fall, and the Democrat has a 59-34 lead with that segment of the electorate. Obama is also benefiting from strong support with independent voters, among whom he leads 49-39. His 89-11 lead with black voters is just enough to offset the 51-42 advantage John McCain has with whites. �Barack Obama has a real chance to pull off a Midwestern sweep,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �Indiana and Missouri are the two toughest wins for him there but we�ve found him with a two point lead in each of those states over the last week. If Obama can hold on to enough white voters in those places his overwhelming black support will put him over the top.� Obama�s surprising success in Indiana is not doing anything to help Jill Long Thompson�s prospects for defeating Governor Mitch Daniels. Daniels leads 57-36, holding Thompson to only 64% of the vote even with Democrats, and has a 56-32 lead with independents. Two other statewide races are too close to call and have a lot of undecideds. Linda Pence leads Greg Zoeller 42-39 while Tony Bennett has a 38-36 advantage on Richard Wood.
