As he nears a 2016 bid, Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal hits political bottom

Just weeks before he is expected to announce his presidential campaign, Bobby Jindal is at the nadir of his political career.

The Republican governor is at open war with many of his erstwhile allies in the business community and the legislature. He spent weeks pushing a “religious freedom” bill that failed to pass, while having little contact with legislators trying to solve Louisiana’s worst budget crisis in 25 years.

Jindal is now so unpopular in deep-red Louisiana that his approval rating plunged to 32 percent in a recent poll — compared with 42 percent for President Obama, who lost the state by 17 percentage points in 2012.

Jindal is term limited and has only 6 months more as Governor. And most of Louisiana is ready to see him go.

Whoops...didn’t know. Bummer for him - virtually no time to recover.
