BATON ROUGE - Gubernatorial candidate Bobby Jindal and Gov. Mike Foster backed off criticisms of pollster Verne Kennedy on Friday after first charging that it was rigged by "push questions."

Foster had branded it a "bogus poll" and suggested that it was a negative attack on Jindal, his handpicked candidate for his successor. Jindal's campaign issued a statement that charged, in effect, that Kennedy's poll was not objective.

Another good trend for republicans is the growing distrust voters now have for all polls and pollsters.

Jindal moved the Medicare system from huge deficit to surplus......

Anyone believe that the pollster asked the voter is they thought that was a good thing.

The more important question is what can we do to change the numbers if they are accurate?
