| Description | Republican Bobby Jindal, leading Democrat Kathleen Blanco by five points, was nearing the 50 percent majority with likely voters, according to a Daily Advertiser/Louisiana Gannett poll taken this week.
Forty-eight percent favored Jindal, and 43 percent Blanco.
“It looks like it is his race to lose, but that doesn’t mean he has it nailed down,” said pollster Brad Coker. “From the time the poll was finished, there were nine days left, a long time in a hotly contested race.”
Louisiana’s Gannett papers — the Alexandria Daily Town Talk, the Lafayette Daily Advertiser, The News-Star of Monroe, the Opelousas Daily World and The Times of Shreveport - paid for the poll, which has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
Both Jindal and Blanco are household names: 98 percent of those polled recognized their names, and only one out of four had neutral opinions about them. Jindal had an edge in favorable/unfavorable ratios.
