IN Sen Poll: Coats Ahead In GOP Primary

A new Survey USA poll conducted for the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne shows former Sen. Dan Coats with a double-digit lead in Tuesday's GOP primary.

Coats 36
Hostettler 24
Stutzman 18
Bates 6
Behney 4
Und 13

In general election matchups, any of the three main Republican hopefuls runs ahead of the Democratic candidate, Rep. Brad Ellsworth.

General Election Matchups

Coats 47 -- Ellsworth 31 -- Und 22
Hostettler 45 -- Ellsworth 32 -- Und 23

RCP currently classifies the race as Lean Republican.

Just over a third of Indiana voters -- 34 percent -- approve of President Obama's job performance, while 57 percent disapprove.
