A recent poll in Indiana revealed that opponents of early redistricting are more passionate in their opposition than supporters.
The Indiana Capital Chronicle reports that the survey of 800 registered voters showed that 51% did not want redistricting now, with 45% strongly opposed.
The poll, conducted by Bellwether Research for Indiana Conservation Voters, found that 39% supported redistricting, but only 23% strongly backed it.
The survey also indicated that voters are closely following the redistricting news, with potential implications for legislators at the ballot box.

If you feel that your party can’t win on its own merits and must cheat to win, you are not the party I want leading me. If your child came home and told you the teacher taught them a new way to cheat while engaging in school activities, you would be appalled. I don’t support cheating nor the party who blatantly cheats. You all cheat but if you wave it in my face…..
Whenever I see “a new poll conducted”…makes me wonder exactly who are they polling?! Does the Bellwether Research group (and other polling services) have a certain demographic they use for these “polls”? People are usually fearful of change. Perhaps redistricting would be a very good thing…unless the media portrays it differently! Interesting that our “open mindedness” is selective!
I’m skeptical about these results. What were the EXACT questions asked?
“Do you oppose redistricting” and “do you support spending up to $300 million dollars to redraw voting maps early” are not the same thing. Most people would answer no to BOTH of those questions. The second question grossly exaggerates the costs, but pollsters would use it to get the “oppose” result.
