Governor's Popularity Slipping
Though I can't verify the poll cited by the Journal Gazette I do agree with its outcome. It states that Governor Daniels' approval rating is down to 37%.
Voters don't feel that his administration is listening to them when they push through their agenda (kinda reminds me of a few of our local politicians as well). They feel they have been locked out of the decision making process.
Both the BMV closings and the toll road project are taking their toll on his popularity. Voters applaud the effort towards fiscal responsibility, which has been missing from our state for some time. But they will vote on how these projects affect their daily lives.
The fear of more trucks going through towns like Angola and 4 hour BMV waits will not get him re-elected. Luckily for the governor her has 3 more years to fix those problems.

The poll has been all over the Star website and paper for days so I assume you didn't look very far.
As for Selzer and Co. in Des Moines, Iowa - I didn't find their own website but it was clear immediately from a quick google how experienced they are with polling.
Consider this from a panel bio:

communicate with their audiences—be they readers, viewers, voters, or lawmakers. J. Ann Selzer, Ph.D. has run her research business since 1989, after several years’ in Washington, D.C. working for a major public opinion research firm.
