Republican Bill Cassidy has opened up a 13-point lead over Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in a head-to-head matchup, according to a new Fox News poll of likely voters.

On the main ballot, Cassidy leads Landrieu by a narrower 4 points, but there are two other Republicans in the race. The contest will go to a runoff between the top two candidates if none of them break the 50 percent threshold.

In an expected Landrieu-Cassidy runoff, Cassidy leads by 51 percent to 38 percent, the Fox News poll found. Nine percent said they didn’t know and 2 percent said they wouldn’t vote.

The poll, conducted Sept. 14-16, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
