Hard to say how credible this poll is, but all political observers following the Louisiana Senate runoff scheduled for December 6 agree that Republican Bill Cassidy has opened a significant lead over incumbent Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu.

One aspect in favor of this poll's accuracy is that Landrieu recieved 42% of the vote on election day and shows her support at 40% in this new poll. And if you combine Cassidy's 40% on election day with the other conservative Republican candidate Maness's 14%, the total is well within the margin of error of the new poll

The Hill:

Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has opened up a 16 point lead over Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) in their Louisiana Senate runoff, according to an internal poll conducted on behalf of the Cassidy campaign and obtained by The Hill. 

Cassidy takes 56.6 percent against Landrieu’s 40.5 percent in the poll conducted by Magellan Strategies. While internal polls should be viewed with some skepticism, it’s the first head-to-head poll to be released in the runoff period. The RealClearPolitics average of polls taken before Election Day showed Cassidy up by only 5 percent in the head-to-head matchup.

A source close to the Landrieu campaign strongly pushed back against the poll, arguing that it’s an automated, push-button poll conducted by a conservative outlet, it used loaded terms to survey only issues pertinent to the Cassidy campaign, and that it underestimates Landrieu’s popularity among African American voters.

I’ve been saying that to my husband for months. You are right on.

[Textide]

How dare you!....make Ms. Piggy cry with that comparison.

I probably shouldn’t say this, but everytime I see Senator Landrieu on TV, I think of Miss Piggy. I probably should be ashamed of thoughts, but does anybody else get the same thought?

I can see it but Miss Piggy has prettier eyes.

OINK! OINK! How do I get rid of this booger?

Testament to how much DemonRats are hated right now.

I don’t want to see her run for Governor in the future. Hope she loses big.

She even put up money for Edwin Edwards (out of prison now) to run and turn out the moron vote.

You have to factor in the number of voters staying home, which could be substantial.

That is a legitimate concern for this election. It is on a Saturday. Hunting season, duck/deer,
is ongoing and this is the only statewide race. There are two other congressional district runoffs,
a few judge/court races and a couple of municipal races. So turnout can be a concern and efforts
will be made to push the voters to get out and vote.
