Would Pence Have Been Re-Elected As Indiana's Governor?.....

[global1]

Is he popular in Indiana or are they wanting to throw him out? Is there a Dem Gov candidate waiting in the wings to take over the Governorship of Indiana?

1. Pence is on very shaky ground for re-election. The guy running against him is very strong.

3. Cook and Sabato had this race as a toss up.

2. This is a red state, but....

Pence is NOT very popular. He won in 2012 by just a few points over the Dem, and promised NOT to champion socially conservative issues. He, of course, actually nationally known for doing so, harming the reputation and business if the state. There is a very good chance he would have lost re-election.

4. A GOP Poll gave Pence only a four point lead...

Republican Gov. Mike Pence maintains a slight 40 percent to 36 percent lead over Democrat John Gregg — a virtual dead heat given the survey's 4 percentage point margin of error. Libertarian candidate Rex Bell trails with 2 percent

I think that was the most recent poll. An incumbent polling only at 40% is highly vulnerable.

5. I guess NO. There is no rational reason to quit a governor's race you' re going to win

for a VP race where you do not decide what is done and that you are likely to lose?

None that I can see at least. (losing VP nominees are rarely the party nominee in modern times)
