“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson’s controversial remarks over homosexuals haven’t hurt him at home in Louisiana: The reality TV mainstay would top sitting Democratic senator Mary Landrieu in a hypothetical match-up, according to a new poll.
Robertson would beat Landrieu 46 percent to 42 percent, according to Public Policy Polling, if he ran for office. His overall favorability in the state would be enviable for most politicians: 45 percent favorable, and 19 percent unfavorable. Landrieu’s job approval sits at 37 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval.
Landrieu is considered one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators in the 2014 midterms, but PPP found she’s currently edging her actual challenger, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, 45 percent to 44 percent.
The poll, conducted from Feb. 6 to 9, surveyed 635 Louisiana voters. Its margin of error is 3.9 percentage points.
