Houston: Indian-American Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal is no longer considered a popular state leader in America, according to a new survey.
The Republican has battled bleak polling numbers all year, but a new survey out yesterday indicates that he’s one of the least popular state leaders in the country.
According to the survey by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP), Jindal has an approval rating of only 28 per cent. Fifty-nine percent of Louisiana voters said they disapprove of the job he is doing.
According to PPP, those numbers make Jindal the least popular Republican governor and the second most unpopular governor overall. Democrat Pat Quinn of Illinois is the lowest rated governor in PPP’s polling.
At 41 per cent, President Barack Obama actually boasts a higher approval rating than Jindal in Louisiana, according to PPP.
PPP also found Jindal, who’s thought to be considering a 2016 Presidential bid, tied for fourth in a hypothetical Republican presidential primary in Louisiana.
When PPP tested him against Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical general election matchup, the former secretary of state claimed a seven-point lead among all Louisiana voters.
Earlier this week, a survey from Republican outlet Harper Polling also showed a majority of Louisiana voters disapproving of Jindal.
