According to today’s WTHR/HPI Indiana poll, the Senate race between former Democratic senator Evan Bayh and Republican representative Todd Young has flipped in favor of the Republican candidate, with Young now leading by 46 percent to Bayh’s 41, which is outside the margin of error. Just this Monday, a Monmouth University poll showed the Indiana race in a dead heat, with both candidates holding 45 percent support.

The momentum of recent months has slowly begun to favor Young, likely due to continuing revelations about Bayh’s time in the Senate, the most recent of which indicate he may have met with headhunters while still in office to score himself a Wall Street job for after he stepped down. This general trend of dislike for Bayh, especially of late, has manifested itself most clearly in his un-favorability numbers: He has gone from 19 percent un-favorability in August to 27 percent in mid October to 45 percent today. Monmouth had Bayh’s un-favorability at just 32 percent on Monday, revealing that this week’s onslaught of negative news has almost certainly damaged his public image even further.
