Hoosiers saying no to Mitch in 2012

By Jim Shella, Political Reporter

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Mitch Daniels remains a popular governor according to the WISH-TV Indiana 2010 Election Poll. The Republican's approval rating is 62 percent.

But while Republican Party leaders and pundits continue to encourage Daniels to run for President in 2012, most Indiana voters don't like that idea.

We asked Hoosiers "Should Mitch Daniels seek the Republican nomination for President?" Thirty-seven percent said that he should run; 45 percent said the should not run. Twelve percent are undecided on the question and 6 percent answered "It depends" or "I don't care."

Daniels, meantime, continues to say that he has no plans to run and his support is even smaller in national polls than in our poll.
