In the race to fill retiring Sen. Evan Bayh’s (D) seat in Indiana, Republican former Sen. Dan Coats has a considerable lead over Democratic Rep. Brad Ellsworth, a new Rasmussen survey finds. The poll has Coats ahead of Ellsworth 50%-29%.
Coats’s 21-point margin over Ellsworth is identical to the one he had in Rasmussen’s last survey of the race from July 8, and it’s even more favorable to Coats than the results from a Coats internal poll released last week, which showed Coats up 50%-35%.
The TPM Poll Average has Coats ahead 50.0%-31.2%. The margin of error of the latest Rasmussen poll is ±4.5 percentage points.
