1944 US Senate election in Indiana

William E. Jenner (Republican) beat Cornelius O'Brien (Democrat) in Indiana in 1944, 52.1% to 47.1%, a margin of 5.0 points and 81,833 votes. (This was a special election.)

Republicans led in 63 of the 92 counties as they stood then and Democrats in 29. The largest, Marion, cast 223,380 votes and went to the Democrat by 1.2 points. The closest was Vermillion, where 37 votes separated the two parties.

Early projection, based on early and incomplete polling: the likely matchups, each weighted by the betting markets' odds of both nominations, not a result. Each county is its 2024 presidential margin moved by its state's projected swing; set a national vote and every state, district and county moves by the same amount from our projection. Colours run in 100 steps from a safe Republican to a safe Democratic margin. Boundaries: US Census Bureau.
