INDIANA INSIDERS. WE TIME WE GET
TOGETHER FOR THESE
DISCUSSIONS IT IS A
SPECIAL OCCASION AS
WE TALK ABOUT OUR
COUNTRY'S FUTURE.
BUT WE WANT TO TAKE
A MOMENT TO
REMEMBER OUR PAST.
THIS IS SEPTEMBER
11TH. NOTHING ELSE
NEEDS TO BE SAID
EXCEPT WE REMEMBER.
WE WILL ALWAYS
REMEMBER.
JOINING ME THIS
MORNING WE HAVE
UNIVERSITY OF
INDIANAPOLIS
POLITICAL SCIENCE
PROFESSOR DR LAURA
ALBRIGHT. DEMOCRAT
ROBIN WINSTON AND I
WOULD LIKE TO
WELCOME BACK
REPUBLICAN PETER
RUSTHOVEN FILLING IN
FOR JENNIFER HALLOWELL WHO IS
AWAY. GOOD MORNING.
IN THE RACE FOR
PRESIDENT WE HAVE
AN INTERESTING WRINKLE. LET'S JUMP
INTO THE LATEST
WTHR-HOWEY POLITICS
POLL ASKING IF
HOOSIERS HAD TO VOTE TODAY WHO
WRINKLE. LET'S JUMP
INTO THE LATEST
WTHR-HOWEY POLITICS
POLL ASKING IF
HOOSIERS HAD TO VOTE TODAY WHO
WOULD THEY FOR.
"... WE HAVE SOME REALLY INTERESTING NUMBERS
FOR YOU FROM OUR
EXCLUSIVE WTHR- "HOWEY
POLITICS INDIANA" POLL.
THIS POLL IS INDIANA RESIDENTS ONLY - WE
ASKED VOTERS WHICH
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THEY WOULD VOTE FOR IF
THE ELECTION WERE HELD
TODAY.
DONALD TRUMP HAS THE
LEAD WITH 43% OF INDIANA
VOTERS WHO SAY THEY
WOULD VOTE FOR THE
REPUBLICAN.
DEMOCRAT HILLARY
CLINTON IS 7 POINTS
BEHIND WITH 36-PERCENT.
BOTH TRUMP AND CLINTON'S NUMBERS HAVE
DROPPED SINCE OUR LAST
POLL IN APRIL. AND LIBERTERIAN GARY
JOHNSON WITH 11% ..."
SO THERE MAY BE A MYRIAD OF REASONS FOR THIS BUT THAT IS
WHY WE HAVE OUR
PANEL OF EXPERTS TO
HELP DECIPHER ALL
THIS.
SOME WOULD SAY
TEMPERAMENT PLAYS A
BIG ROLE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
SO WE WANTED TO
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
"LET'S LOOK AT THE
CANDIDATES HAVING THE
RIGHT TEMPERAMENT TO
BE PRESIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE WTHR
RIGHT TEMPERAMENT TO
BE PRESIDENT.
ACCORDING TO THE WTHR
"LET'S LOOK AT THE
CANDIDATES HAVING THE
RIGHT TEMPERAMENT TO
BE PRESIDENT.
ACCORDING TO THE WTHR
- "HOWEY POLITICS
INDIANA" POLL.
ONLY 21-PERCENT OF VOTERS THINK DONALD
TRUMP HAS A GOOD
TEMPERAMENT.
54-PERCENT SAY POOR.
HILLARY CLINTON HAS 35-
PERCENT SAYING GOOD...
WITH 41-PERCENT SAYING
POOR.
THAT SWINGS THOUGH
WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW
FAVORABLY OR
UNFAVORABLY YOU VIEW EACH CANDIDATE... AND
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
MAKER. WHILE 54-PERCENT VIEW
TRUMP UNFAVORABLY...
62-PERCENT OF INDIANA
VOTERS VIEW CLINTON
UNFAVORABLY."
SO NOW THAT KNOW
HOW THE VOTERS FEEL
HERE LET'S JUMP INTO
THE REASONS WHY.
THIS CLEARLY HAS TO GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST UNPOPULAR
PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTIONS IN SOME
TIME.
THAT BRINGS US TO
THE ELEPHANT IN THE
ROOM. HOW HAS GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE
IMPACTED THIS RACE IN
INDIANA? THE
NUMBERS MAY
SURPRISE YOU.
" WITH THE TRUMP
TICKET.... WE ASKED
HOOSIERS IN OUR WTHR -
"HOWEY POLITICS INDIANA"
POLL... DID ADDING
GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE AS
HIS V-P NOMINEE... MAKE A
DIFFERENCE ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY'D VOTE FOR
HIM.
41-PERCENT SAID THEY
ARE NOW MORE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
38-PERCENT SAID LESS
LIKELY. AND GET THIS... 20-
PERCENT SAID IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE TO THEM."
SO AT LEAST IN
INDIANA GOVERNOR
MIKE PENCE DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE HAVING A
PROFOUND EFFECT ON
THIS RACE.
NOT THE LAST TIME WE
WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE RACE FOR
PRESIDENT BUT IT IS
ALSO HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE RACE
FOR US SENATE.
WHEN FORMER
SENATOR EVAN BAYH
GOT INTO THE RACE HE
BROUGHT NAME RECOGNITION AND
MONEY IN THE CONTEST AGAINST
TODD YOUNG BUT HE
HASN'T HELD OFFICE FOR 12 YEARS. THE
LANDSCAPE IS
CHANGING.
"... THERE IS POSSIBLY A SURPRISE IN THESE
NUMBERS FROM OUR EXCLUSIVE WTHR/ "HOWEY
POLITICS INDIANA" POLL.
IN THE RACE FOR US
SENATE WE HAVE A RACE -
HOOSIER VOTERS TOLD US
44% WOULD VOTE FOR
DEMOCRAT EVAN BAYH.
AND A CLOSE 40% FOR
REPUBLICAN TODD YOUNG.
WITH 5% PICKING
LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE
LUCY BRENTON. KEEP IN
MIND THE POLL HAS A
MARGIN OF ERROR OF 4%.
SO THIS IS A DEAD HEAT.."
SO NOW WE HAVE
RACE. EXPERIENCE
FROM EVAN BAYH VS
MARINE TODD YOUNG
WHO IS RUNNING IN
THE YEAR OF THE
MARINE. THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
AN UNPOPULAR
PRESIDENTIAL RACE WE
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF,
A SENATE RACE THAT
DEFINES A NEW
REALITY...
A SENATE RACE THAT
DEFINES A NEW REALITY...
...SO NOW WE TURN
OUR ATTENTION TO A
RACE FOR GOVERNOR
THAT MOST PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT. THAT IS COMING UP
NEXT, WHEN WE
RETURN.
WE EXPECTED A
REMATCH IN THE RACE
FOR GOVERNOR. WHAT
