Now that the Louisiana legislative gavel is ready, today, for its annual podium-pound rite-of-political spring, it’s time to consider Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s all-so popular complaint over the past few years.

As is typical, the clash between the transformative ideas of Gov. Bobby Jindal and Louisiana’s political culture makes the voting public appear schizophrenic, with implications for his agenda going forward.

What a fall from grace for the Governor of Louisiana.

The annual pre-legislative session SMOR poll has been released today by Bernie Pinsonat and it does not look pretty for at least one of our state’s heretofore most popular elected officials--

Much has already been written about Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's significant descent in poll numbers, whether it be a poll conducted last fall by SMOR, or one published last week by Voter/Consumer Research or the most recent poll published by what is being described by some in the media as a "Democratic-leaning" survey (below). 

This is part II of a discussion with Bernie Pinsonat, President of Southern Media and Opinion Research, Inc, (SMOR) to discuss the differences between his and another poll that resulted in significant variances in outcomes. 

Recently, various Louisiana political observers were confused how two polls focused upon some of the same issues and released within one week of each other could be so different in their  results.

Polls, shmolls.

Much is being made over two Louisiana polls issued a week apart measuring Louisiana voters’s opinion in an national election year and a non -statewide election year for the state.

According to the conservative Magellan BR poll released today, Mitt Romney will win in a landslide, over half of the respondents prefer someone other than Sen. Mary Landrieu and Senator Vitter leads Mitch Landrieu by over five points. 

Is Obama presidency now in play in Louisiana for November against Romney?  

Today, SMOR, Southern Media and Opinion Research, Inc. released its most recent poll describing the political landscape in Louisiana.  The poll was paid for by Lane Grisby, a Baton rouge businessman.
