Support for Trump in Louisiana plunges, poll says: See results, how that impacts governor's race

A clear majority of Louisiana voters don’t want Donald Trump to win a second term as president, an independent poll shows.

The survey by pollster Verne Kennedy also shows that as many of the 600 likely voters in Louisiana polled in April approved of Trump’s performance as disapprove of it, which is a further reflection of the president’s problems in a state where he won easily in 2016 with 58% of the vote over Hillary Clinton, the Democrat.

There’s more bad news for Trump in Kennedy’s poll: Louisiana voters by 49% to 41% opposed the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that the president wants to build.

Trump’s weaker-than-expected poll results will likely have consequences for this year’s governor’s race because many Republicans have been saying a late-in-the-campaign endorsement from the president could deliver the decisive blow for a conservative Republican to knock off Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat.

Alabama chose a Democrat!


I know, we hear all the talk about backward states but there are may colleges in those states, som very intelligent people who know BS when they hear it from the biggest liar of all time.

I just heard that Nancy called Trump to call off the raids. That gave him an excuse to blame Democrats.

Smart Nancy, in control of the toddler!

but I have to think this poll has some kind of oversampling in orleans and east baton rouge parishes.
