A new Southern Media & Opinion Research poll in Louisiana finds Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-LA) approval rating falling more than ten points to 47% in the last six months.
Said pollster Bernie Pinsonat: “Senator Landrieu’s job performance has deteriorated since this spring. If (she) faced re-election in the next few months, her outlook for re-election would be highly unlikely.”
That said, Landrieu still leads Bill Cassidy (R) by seven points, 41% to 34%. “But the data questioned whether she would be able to clinch the 50% necessary to win outright. With Tea Party-endorsed Republican Rob Maness receiving just under 10% in the poll, Cassidy could conceivably win in a runoff if he could claim all or most of Maness’ support for himself.”
