HE Polling Predicts Max Engling Victory as Indiana Secretary of State Race Enters Final Weeks

1 day ago
3 min read


The October 7 Debate Turned Confrontational was the headlines, bhe hardly, as they boringly, struggled to agree.


All four candidates participated in a televised debate on October 7. But there only two with any chance and this year in Indiana, really only one: The Republican. Democrats are proving to be crazy dumbocrats and socialist with no plans, or much to show for voters to support. A name is not nearly enough. Especailly, one who is too young


Engling emphasized election security, particularly verifying citizenship before allowing individuals to vote.


Bayh challenged Engling's assertions, arguing that Indiana already has safeguards against illegal voting.


Ballard criticized the state's election oversight structure, proposing changes to make the Election Commission and Recount Commission more independent.


Shillings argued that additional citizenship-verification requirements were unnecessary.'


The Media false naratives are that Greg Ballard Could Be the Wild Card

Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard is running as a Lincoln Party candidate. What party is that? The rig won't fly. He gets no real support in HE polls, save from a few who won't vote for a young Bayh. He is taking votes in the center of the state from the Democrat this time.


Although polling places him around 5%, his Republican background makes his candidacy particularly interesting one would think but he is actually pulling voters from Bayh and not the Republican Party Candidate, Max Engling.


In an election decided by one or two percentage points, Ballard could influence the result by attracting voters who otherwise might support Engling.

Libertarian Lauri Shillings could also affect the outcome.


And people are engerized over the highest state race on the ballot, but his election is about the future of Washington and Max Engler is running away with it.


The kid in the race looks bored by the old guy in the race to Indiana's next Secretary of State -- as voters are rejecting one as far too old and the other as too young and unknown.

With Election Day less that 20 days away, Hoosier Enquirer's  polling predicts the more seasoned and more mature Republican Max Engling, 39, will defeat youngster Democrat Beau Bayh, 30, as other public polling suggesting a close contest. HE conducted a 2 day poll of likely hoosier voters, to only find many know little about them but will vote based on their party. The number of Republicans not voting Republican approaches zero from the right, less than 2%.


HE's forecast, therefore, anticipates a decisive Engling victory based on the newspaper's own polling, and without any other opting being within the margin of error.


Indiana is Republican Red State and MAGA today.

Engling brings approximately 12 years of congressional experience and the political credibility of having defeated incumbent Republican Diego Morales for the nomination. Bayh, the son of former Democratic Governor Evan Bayh, has impressive academic credentials and military service but has never held elected office. At 30, he is asking Hoosiers to entrust him with statewide responsibility relatively early in his political career.


The Sole Woman in the Race


Lauri Shillings, 55, is the only female candidate and is polling at a respectable between 5 and 6%. But she could draw more yet for the Democrat women.


Her candidacy supporters are predominantly Democratic women or others motivated by gender rather than policy. Her vote share could still influence the margin between the leading candidates by drawing Karen's and the "catwoman" vote who refuse to support any man regardless of party label, i.e., the lesbien vote and some gay men.


The old candidate, Greg Ballard, 71, is polling like a retreaded tire, and he also attracts approximately 3 to 5% support. Neither third-party candidate is positioned to win, but both will only hurt Bayh by reducing the number undecideds making his race unwinnable.


HE Sees a Republican Victory, Not Any Sort of Democratic Breakthrough, Not in the Trump Era.


Indiana has elected Republican secretaries of state for more than three decades. Even a popular mayor couldn't win for the Democrats in the past.


Engling benefits from that history, his experience and his success after IUPUI as well as his age place him old enought, but not to young or too old or odd. He is the most normal.


HE predicts that Engling will win decisively on November 3. 


That is the newspaper's forecast, not an endorsement, but the conclusion of our latest polling, which doesn't shows a statistical dead heat without enough undecided to matter, certainly no where near the 14-17% being reported by the Pro-Bayh FAKE NEWS.


Max Engling has converted Indiana's Republican advantage into a landslide in this campaign.
