The oil spill in the Gulf may be mostly out of the headlines now but Louisiana voters aren't getting any less mad at Barack Obama about his handling of it. Only 32% give Obama good marks for his actions in the aftermath of the spill, while 61% disapprove.
Louisianans are feeling more and more that George W. Bush's leadership on Katrina was better than Obama's on the spill. 54% think Bush did the superior job of helping the state through a crisis to 33% who pick Obama. That 21 point margin represents a widening since PPP asked the same question in June and found Bush ahead by a 15 point margin. Bush beats Obama 87-2 on that score with Republicans and 42-30 with independents, while Obama has just a 65-24 advantage with Democrats.
Louisianans are generally softening with time in their feelings about how Bush handled Katrina. Almost as many, 44%, now approve of his actions on it as the 47% who disapprove. Of course it should be noted that many of the people most negatively impacted by the federal government's handling of Katrina aren't in Louisiana to answer polls about it now.
If there is a political 'winner' in the aftermath of the oil spill it's Bobby Jindal. 70% of Louisiana voters are happy with how he handled the spill to only 20% giving him bad marks and his overall approval rating of 58% puts him at the top of the heap for Governors and Senators PPP's polled on this year.

That’s gonna leave a mark!!
At the end the truth will always win. Five years after Katrina the truth won.
Karma, Obama, Karma..... =.=
Bush was set up on Katrina.
Yes. Pure and simple. The press and Dems were then onto their long-running meme — Bush is an uneducated, stupid, lying, incompetent dolt. Half a decade of that constant drumbeat pounded it into many American brains.
But the truth will always come out at the end and President Bush will be vindicated on many fronts.
Thanks SeekAndFind. But we knew that.
I pray to God that I’m alive to hear the truth about usurper Obama when it is finally revealed. But I don’t think I’m going to live a hundred years more.
No it ain’t.
Spike Lee is working on the final scene...
But good guys can rest well at night.
Restore Honor rally intended to give that message. It comes from within.
But never let down your guard. Most accidents happen close to home they say, or the last run for the day down the ski slope...
Yes he did and he didn’t have to land on the soil to see the damages.
Compared to the bum’s entourage and expense getting his photo op
sticking his finger in a bit of oil on the beach.
Wow! PPP is a DemocRAT polling outfit and they came up with THOSE results?!?!?
Ouch!!!
(Still, the results couldn’t have happened to a more deserving socialist b@stard!)
Who?
What ‘handling’ did the bum do? He has ‘czars’ doing his job
so he can live like a lottery winner.
All he does is golf and vacation, costing taxpayers, I might add.
Big big difference between the humble man and the bum.
Heckuva job, brownie!
Ya think?
