Public Policy Polling found that Louisiana voters would choose Clinton over Jindal by a 47-40 margin if the election were held today. To put that number in perspective, Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama by a lopsided 58-40 margin in the state. Thus, Jindal would run 25 points worse than Romney’s showing versus Obama in 2012 if he were pitted against Hillary Clinton. Even nearly one in five Louisiana Republicans would prefer Hillary Clinton to their governor. Clinton enjoys a 17 point advantage with Louisiana women and almost breaks even with men trailing just 44-42. The Republican brand is in such disrepute that even Chris Christie and Rand Paul, two of the probable GOP front runners for the party’s nomination, also fare poorly. Rand Paul leads a hypothetical contest with Clinton 45-44, while Chris Christie trails Clinton 42-41. Jindal’s performance versus Clinton is similar to neighboring Texas’ Governor Rick Perry’s showing. Hillary Clinton would defeat Perry 48-44 in Texas in a hypothetical presidential race. The job performance of Republican governors in deep red Southern states is so dismal, that red state voters would not even vote to elect their home state governors in a race against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
