Louisiana GOP Gov. Jindal Trails Convicted Racketeer in Hypothetical Match Up

PublicPolicyPolling ?@ppppolls 7m
Worst poll finding for Jindal- would trail Edwin Edwards 48/43 in hypothetical match up. Edwards fav 39/44: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2014/07/louisiana-miscellany.html

PPP's newest Louisiana poll continues to find that Bobby Jindal is among the least popular Governors in the country, and that there is minimal support for him running for President even in his home state. Only 32% of voters approve of the job Jindal is doing to 56% who disapprove. Among Republicans his numbers are relatively tepid (57/33 approval). His numbers with independents pretty closely mirror his overall ones (32/57), and support from Democrats is virtually nonexistent (12/75).

Even among GOP voters there is little support for a Jindal bid. Just 21% think he should seek the White House to 63% who believe he should sit it out. He finishes just fourth among Republican primary voters at 12%, behind Ted Cruz at 19%, and Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee at 17%. He leads Rand Paul's 10%, Chris Christie's 6%, Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan's 4%, and Scott Walker's 3%.

That was our slogan back when Edwards ran against David Dukkke.

on a huge billboard facing the main street:

"Vote for X for Sheriff.
He has never been indicted."
