Democrat Edwards will face runoff in Louisiana governor's race

[FBaggins]

15. Not at all.

There were six polls reported in the last week... with Edwards at 43/45/47/48/48/52. His 46.3% fits comfortably within that range and well within the MOE for all but one of those polls. At first glance, the Republicans would appear to have outperformed their polling, but that's not really the case. When pollsters see 10% undecided in a race with a well known statewide incumbent... the only question is whether those voters will stay home or will vote for the opposition. One could question whether they showed up because of Trump's rally... or were just "undecided" on which Republican they were going to vote for (likely)... but the polling was accurate.
