Title: Romney Up by 16 Points in Indiana
Post by: howardroark on August 06, 2012, 07:41:18 AM
Here's one key swing state that's locked up for Romney:

Four years ago, President Barack Obama became the first Democrat since 1964 to win Indiana. He looks unlikely to repeat that feat.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds challenger Mitt Romney picking up 51 percent of the vote while the president earns just 35 percent. Three percent (3 percent) prefer some other candidate, and 11 percent are undecided.

This is a bigger lead for Romney than he enjoyed in May and shifts the race from "Leans Romney" to "Safe Romney" in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections. Among voters nationwide, the race remains very close in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Indiana was never a swing state...its generally been a red state

True. It went blue for Obama in 2008 though, technically making it a swing state for that election. It ultimately depends on your time of reference when defining what a "swing state" is.
