Poll: Louisiana Voters Don't Want Jindal To Run For President, But He Would Carry The State
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%.

This is another totally useless report for the times we face right way in the politics of the moment.
Why is this newsworthy? and more importantly, who cares?

It's telling that the voters who best know Jindal don't want him running. And more telling that Republicans aren't particularly enthusiastic.

They just want to keep all that magnetism to themselves.
