New Louisiana Poll Shows Bush Widening His Lead Delusional Democrats have long asserted that John Kerry could carry the Bayou State this November. Kerry has campaigned and advertised in the state. Early polls indicated that President Bush had a ten point lead in Lousiana, but a new poll by the Marketing Research Institute reports that the President has widened his lead to sixteen points. The exact numbers are 54% to 38%. Why is this important? 1. President Bush only carried Louisiana by eight points in 2000. If he carries it by 16 points in 2004, it bodes well for Bush in the rest of the South and in the popular vote. 2. Republicans narrowly lost the 2002 Senate race and the 2003 Gubernatorial race in Louisiana. John Breaux is retiring, and Republicans would like to pick up that Senate seat. A Bush landslide could pull Congressman Vitter with it. 3. Kerry has wasted money in Louisiana that could have been spent in more important battleground states. posted by Alexander K.
