Donald Trump tops his Republican rivals in Indiana, according to a WTHR/Howey Politics poll released on Friday.
Trump leads with 37 percent support in the state, which votes on May 3, followed by Ted Cruz at 31 percent and John Kasich at 22 percent.
Among Indiana Democrats, Hillary Clinton holds a somewhat narrower lead over Bernie Sanders.
Clinton has a 3-point advantage over the Vermont senator, 48 percent to 45 percent. Core Democrats favor Clinton by a 13-point margin (53 percent to 40 percent), but Sanders performs better among occasional and first-time voters by even wider margins (55 percent to 40 percent among occasional voters and 66 percent to 27 percent among first-time voters).

(14,498 posts)a VERY conservative state.
Obama carried it in 2008 general . ( Which must be some kind of HISTORIC).
I don't think so in 2012.

(21,328 posts)Historically, Indiana is a very conservative state, the most in the Great Lakes region by a mile. Winning it is a big challenge and it shouldn't be our first priority.

(81,861 posts)Red states with high diversity are worst for him.
Best to worst states for Bernie
1. Red states, low diversity (UT, ID, KA, ME, MI, NH, etc)
2. Blue States, low diversity
3. Blue States, high diversity
4. Red states, high diversity (MS, AL, LA, SC, GA, etc)

Are there lots of Hispanics, Asians, s.e. Asians, Carrribeans, M-Easterners, European-born, African-born, etc. etc etc. in these states?
.... or are you really talking about AAs?
And if the later is the case.... how is that "diversity" in the modern sense of the word?
