Her comments mirror those of Democrats across the south, who are focusing on racial issues in ads in an effort to shore up their base ahead of Tuesday's election. In Louisiana, Landrieu supporters have run radio ads targeting black voters that reference Ferguson, Missouri, and the senator has repeatedly referenced black poverty in debates.

Republicans, including Landrieu's opponents Rep. Bill Cassidy and Col. Rob Maness, immediately seized on her remarks.

"Senator Landrieu’s comments are remarkably divisive. She appears to be living in a different century," tweeted Gov. Bobby Jindal (R). "That is a major insult by Senator Landrieu to the people of Louisiana and I flatly reject it."

Jindal's comments aside, Obama's approval rating in the state is starkly divided by race. Seventeen percent of Louisiana whites approve of the job he is doing, compared to 76 percent of non-whites.
