A new survey of Louisiana from Public Policy Polling (D) has some mixed news for Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal: A huge majority of Louisiana voters don’t want him to run for President in 2012 — but if he does run, he should expect to carry the state by a wide margin, anyway.
The numbers: Only 27% say he should run, to 61% against. Among Democrats this is 15%-78%, but even Republicans only favor it 43%-39%, and independents are against it 24%-62%.
However, Jindal would defeat President Obama for this red state’s electoral votes, by a solid margin of 54%-40%. Sarah Palin would carry the state, too, leading Obama by 49%-42%.
