Poll: Hogsett Leads Shreve, Both Candidates Underperforming

The first legitimate polling data is out when it comes to the race for mayor of Indianapolis. In a poll commissioned by Indy Politics and Crossroads Public Affairs and conducted by ARW Strategies, current Mayor Joe Hogsett holds a ten-point lead over his Republican challenger Jefferson Shreve.

I don’t believe Shreve has any chance of unseating Hoggstuff. Blue city blue mayor.

According to WIBC, Hogsett is only leading by 10%?

Too bad they can't both be struck dead by lightning and replaced by two randomly-selected names from the White Pages. I got a glossy flyer card in the mail last week from the Shreve campaign. It read like a Sarah Brady mailing from the 1980s. Gun control was literally the _only_ issue on it. Nothing else.

If he thinks that's going to pry enough black church ladies and Broad Ripple software "bros" from the Democrats to make up a 10% poll deficit, I believe he'll be disappointed. (The thought of him wearing a Kente cloth in a black church while tricking for votes is entertaining, though).

Since Shreve is a republican version of Hogsett, there is now way he can win in democrat controlled Indianapolis considering he pissed off most of his republican base with his anti-firearm agenda that was a copy of the one Hogsett is pushing.

What an idiot...

Jefferson Shreve: I'll Donate My Salary to Indianapolis Animal Care Services If Elected

Shreve said current Indy Mayor Joe Hogsett promised that there would be a new shelter complete by this year, but there has been "no meaningful progress" on the selected site.

That's probably the only positive thing about him that I've heard.

Shreve 101 should be a freshman political science course on how to not run as a Republican. What a bored rich boy eff-tard, completely tone deaf CoC Republican stereotype.

Effective Hogsett commercial currently running shows Shreve uh, uh, fumbling for an answer when asked what message was being sent by photo of someone open carrying while standing near Shreve. The photo was obviously a planned gotcha surprise question.
Shreve: I uh didn't mean to send any message.
Snarky Phil Bremen (former WTHR reporter): I didn't ask what message you intended to send. I want to know what message was received?
Shreve: Uh, Uh... I ... gee. (Confused look on face, fade out).
Hey Jefferson, why didn't you tell smart mouth Phil that you have no idea what message was received. He'd have to ask whoever the offended person was that freaked out at the sight of a holstered gun.
Yeah, Shreve is toast.

Hundred percent. Cautionary tale.

Though I wonder what his final percentage will be, purely on the basis of "anyone but Hoggsett". I suspect most Republicans will simply skip this one and not vote.

Mostly straight party lever pullers (or touch screen mashers these days) I would guess, with some smattering of low information and/or protest votes.

Is there an election system where you can give someone a negative vote? You can vote for one of these candiates or against one...it would at least make it ethical to make a selection in some of these douche v turd sandwich elections.

I'm voting for Bigfoot or @Frank_N_Stein . With the assumption they are different entities, mind you.

He really created the Wikipedia entry:

1. There's not enough Republicans to win in Indianapolis, for starters.
2. He's assured not to get all of them, because of the "gun thing."
3. The "gun thing" will also cost him Democrats; if you're a liberal gun owner, he literally has nothing for you.
4. Most Democrats just want the real thing anyway.

Really, it's remarkable he's doing as well in polls as he is. People are really not paying attention yet. Once they do, I can't see how this works.

When questioned about the guy next to him open carrying, if Shreve had any brains he should have just said "It is that person's constitutional right". Makes me wonder if Shreve even knows that we have a constitution.

I hate that commercial. Not just because of Shreve's response, but because AIWB carry is referred to as "flashing a gun". Um, no. If he had drawn the gun and waved it around, that would be flashing a gun. Idiots.

My bet is no, he does not know that the State has a constitution nor the country. He heard about it from someone a long time ago in grade school.

He obviously has no idea what his Constitutional Rights are, and therefore he does not know (or care) what yours are.

Oh, and what DoggyDaddy said.

How long before Indy starts seeing mayors like chicago and detroit?

I'd say we're already there.

Any politican not smart enough to lie or at least omit his 2A intentions isn't worthy to be a politician.

 

[Hoosier8]

Shreve’s policies are apparently the same as Hogsett’s and dang, he looks like him too.

One thing to keep in mind the state Republican politicians are behind him.

Either:

A) As soon as Indy opens its eyes.

B) Other blue cities must still not know they have shatty mayors. Why else would they keep true to the blue?
