POS (R) IN-04: Rokita Is The Clear Frontrunner

Public Opinion Strategies (R) IN-04 Poll conducted 2/22-2/23 of 300 Republican LVs:

Secretary Of State Todd Rokita 40%
State Sen. Mike Young 10%
State Sen. Brandt Hershman 8%
Greenwood Mayor Charlie Henderson 3%

Caveat: this poll was released by Rokita's campaign.  Rokita's big early lead isn't much of a surprise, as he has been elected twice statewide before and easily has the highest name ID (70%).  Republicans seem to really like him, as he has a 50%/6% favorable rating, while the other candidates' name ID is below 30%.  Rokita actually is somewhat moderate, at least by Indiana Republican standards, but still 57% who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement view him favorably.  The Primary here is on 5/4.

OVERWHELMING ADVANTAGE FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
