A new statewide poll paid for by a conservative businessman shows Gov. Bobby Jindal has continued to keep strong though slightly declining popularity ratings among registered voters in Louisiana while President Barack Obama continues to have high negatives.
The telephone poll by Southern Media & Opinion Research Inc. was conducted with 600 voters statewide from April 19-23, with a margin of error of 4 percentage points. It was financed by Baton Rouge businessman Lane Grigsby, who has contributed mainly to Republicans in the past, including Jindal and Sen. David Vitter.
About 61 percent gave Jindal a good or excellent job performance score, down from nearly 68 percent in a Southern Media poll last year. His negative rating grew from 30 percent to 37 percent.
The survey asked if Jindal "endorsed your state representative," would that cause you to be more likely to vote for that person. Only 20 percent responded that a Jindal-endorsement would make it more likely to influence a vote, whereas 13 percent answered "less likely" and 65 percent said it would make no difference to them.
