INDIANAPOLIS, April 17 (UPI) -- Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., led primary rival Richard Mourdock in a recent Howey/DePauw Indiana Battleground Poll but the lead is within the margin of error.
Lugar, one of the Senate's longest serving members, faces a tough re-election bid after some in his party questioned his conservative chops based on his decades of work in the Senate and a reputation for reaching across the aisle, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
