New poll shows Gregg leading in governor's race
A new poll shows John Gregg, the Democratic candidate for governor, leading in the race over Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb, but not by as wide of a margin as in another survey conducted this month.
Gregg is ahead of Holcomb, the GOP candidate, by more than 5 points in a Hoosier Survey poll released Wednesday by WISH-TV and Ball State University.
Gregg garnered support from 48 percent of likely voters to Holcomb’s nearly 43 percent. A Monmouth University poll released Friday showed Gregg with a 12-point lead over Holcomb.
Holcomb’s campaign had criticized the Monmouth poll as an “outlier.” But the new poll conducted Oct. 10-16 maintains a lead for Gregg heading into the last leg of the race. The Hoosier Survey represents responses of 544 likely voters and has a margin of error of 4.8 percentage points.
