Eddie Rispone has a very narrow lead in the newest poll in the Louisiana governor’s runoff. Rispone received 45.5% compared to 45% for Governor John Bel Edwards with 9% undecided. The poll was conducted by JMC Analytics and Polling.
The survey showed that both Edwards and Rispone lost ground from their previous poll a couple of weeks ago but Edwards lost more ground. Previously, Edwards was leading Rispone 48%-46%.
The poll shows Edwards winning in metro New Orleans and metro Baton Rouge. The two men have virtually tied in metro Shreveport. Meanwhile, Rispone is winning the rest of the state.
Meanwhile, Trump impeachment continues to be unpopular in Louisiana. 54% of Louisianians oppose the impeachment inquiry while 37% support the inquiry.
The poll had 600 respondents on cellphones and landlines and has a margin of error of 4%.
What does this poll say? First of all, the trend is good news for Eddie Rispone and shows him with the momentum heading into election day this Saturday. But the most important part of this poll is that this will be a turnout battle. The candidate whose campaign can get their voters to the polls on Saturday will win.
“The candidate whose campaign can get their voters to the polls on Saturday will win.”
That’s the best commentary I have heard since Terry Bradshaw professed, “The team that scores the most points will win.”
Trump rally Bump!
Bradshaw always had a gift for understatement. Although I think he was just channeling yogi berra’s “it ain’t over till it’s over” kinda stuff. He did convince me I need a naked room. The wife put the stop to that. :)
As I recall, no sitting Louisiana governor has ever won a second term if driven to a runoff.
Even in New ORleans, I’m not seeing any more Edwards yard signs than for Rispone.
My prediction: a landslide for Rispone, with Trump taking credit for what was going to happen with or without him.
Polls have to fraudulently keep ot close to give the Democrats cover for their cheating on election night!
Refresh my memory. When did Trump say it was him that made the difference for someone in an election? When was the last speech he gave where he said “I, I, I, Me, Me, Me”. I remember Obama couldn’t quit saying I and me, not so much DJT. I hope you are right about the election, I’ll just disagree about who takes the credit.
Amen!
“Trump rally Bump!”
Let us pray that happens.
He’ll win with Trump’s endorsement tonight. Great rally in Bossier City.
John Bel Edwards is toast.
“Even in New ORleans, I’m not seeing any more Edwards yard signs than for Rispone.”
The Primary results out of Orleans Parish were not all that positive.
” ...The Primary results out of Orleans Parish were not all that positive.”
It has been reported that no sitting governor has been reelected after being forced into a runoff.
BTW, welcome to FR.
Grrr! Enough with these ridiculous polls… The only poll that counts is the number of votes counted on election day. Incumbent Dem Edwards got less than 47% of votes in the primary. He will probably fail to win the runoff this Saturday.
After the last primary election for US Senate in LA, the well-known and long term incumbent Dem Landrieu was forced into a runoff by failing to get more than 50% of the votes. Cassidy (R) easily beat her in the runoff, even though the “polls” and “news” media falsely claimed the race was “neck and neck”. Anybody looking at the primary vote count could see she was doomed.
The same thing will probably happen in the LA governor race this Saturday.
More like a Yogi-ism.
Ridiculous that these ruby red states are even close. Something is going on. Why blue states not having these issues. We never should have lost Kentucky and now so close in Louisiana. Alabama lost a senate seat. This is not good!!!!!
KY was to be expected. Governor had proverbially stepped on his pecker from a great height with cleats on. The policies he pushed/implemented were very very very unpopular. He was down 19 before Trump came to help. Trump dragged his sorry ass up 18 points. He was barely beaten.
On the rest... you actually trust polls? The pollsters have skewed Democrat so hard I recently saw polls with 50% Democrat. Actual percentage is in the mid to low 30s.
Put away the pearls, Maude. Take a deep breath and relax.
Like sports, politics is rife with obvious truisms posing as tough-minded wisdom. Neverthess, the comment about turnout as now being pivotal indicates that there are few swing voters and undecideds left among the public.
I don’t trust polls. BUT the message here before 2018 was that we’d keep the house and lose 10 seats at most. Polls were laughed at. Not sure that is wise. I think it’s better to say, “oh man we’re even or down in polls. We better go knock on doors, make phone calls, etc.” black early voting in Louisiana is 44 percent. 11 percent higher then last election. We need to counter that.
November of 2016, if I recall.
