Indiana poll: Mike Pence’s ratings drop after ‘religious freedom’ law
The “religious freedom” law signed by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has taken a toll on the potential presidential candidate’s image in his home state, according to a poll released Thursday that shows most Hoosiers think the law was not necessary.
