By Matthew Foldi

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) exclusively shared a polling memo with the Washington Reporter that earmarks for attention a district in Northwest Indiana, which Biden carried by 7 percent in 2020.

Rep. Frank Mrvan (D., Ind.) in Indiana’s 1st congressional district looked poised for re-election, but a combination of President Joe Biden’s approval rating (56 percent of respondents disapprove of his job performance, compared to only 42 percent who approve in Mrvan’s district) and strong House Republican candidate recruitment have made Mrvan’s shot weaker.

The poll, conducted earlier this year, found Mrvan leading Republican candidate Randy Niemeyer by 45 percent to 41 percent, within the poll’s margin of error. Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), Senate candidate in Indiana, told the Reporter that “IN01 will be a top five House race to watch in November.” The NRCC’s poll also showed Banks with a plus-four image rating in this district.

“We have a great candidate in Randy Niemeyer and northwest Indiana is trending Republican as working class voters see more than ever that the elitist Democrat Party doesn’t represent them anymore,” Banks said.
