Hill increases lead over Sodrel in poll as Schansberg increasingly attracts independent voters

In the most recent Survey USA poll (commissioned by WHAS-TV in Louisville and WCPO-TV in Cincinnati), Democrat Baron Hill leads Republican Mike Sodrel by 50-39%. Dr. Eric Schansberg, the Libertarian candidate, polled at 5% (with another 5% undecided). Hill’s lead grew by 4% and according to Survey USA, Schansberg edged up by 1%.

Schansberg said, “We’re excited about improving in the polls—and in particular, about attracting so many independents [19%]. Nationwide, independents are 40% of the voting population. If we can get our message to that entire group, this race could get very interesting.”

Schansberg added, “We’ve been working hard—walking the business districts, appearing at all the county fairs, holding town halls, and so on. So, we’re hoping those seeds will bear more and more fruit as the campaign progresses. With our paid media campaign getting underway—1000 more radio ads and more than 2000 TV ads—we’re excited about getting our message out to people who are ready for real change.”
