Hamilton County Republican Chairman Mario Massillamany has announced the results of the late June poll conducted by Cygnal, showing Republican City Councilmember Sue Finkam with a comfortable 13-point lead over Democratic City Councilmember Miles Nelson in the Carmel mayoral race.
The poll indicates that self-described independent voters favor Finkam by a wide margin, and she holds a lead over Nelson among both women and men. Additionally, Finkam leads comfortably among those with the highest propensity to vote.
“We are thrilled with the results of the recent poll conducted by Cygnal, which clearly demonstrate City Councilmember Sue Finkam’s impressive lead in the Carmel City Mayor’s race,” Massillamany said. “Finkam’s positive favorability ratings underscore the trust and confidence Carmel constituents place in her. We are excited about her candidacy and confident that she will lead Carmel to even greater heights.”
Finkam’s popularity is evident, with just above 60 percent favorability overall. Even a majority of self-described Democrats have a favorable opinion of her. Her center-right credentials contribute to her strong favorability with self-described conservative and moderate voters, reaching 66 percent and 65 percent, respectively.
On the other hand, the data says Nelson’s favorability numbers are considerably lower compared to Finkam’s.
