Anti-redistricting sentiment twice as intense as support among Indiana voters, poll finds

Hoosiers who oppose early redistricting are more vehement in their convictions than proponents, a new poll says.

Indiana lawmakers will meet in December to consider redrawing the state’s two blue congressional districts red ahead of the 2026 midterm elections – following a months-long pressure campaign by President Donald Trump and his administration officials for a mid-cycle flip.

District lines are typically reconfigured every 10 years, after the release of new decennial census data. The Statehouse’s GOP supermajorities constructed the current 7-2 maps in 2021.

In a statewide survey of 800 registered Indiana voters, 51% didn’t want redistricting now – with 45% “strongly” opposed. About 39% supported the prospect, but just 23% “strongly” backed it.
