Jindal's actions draw support from big majority in national survey By: Mark Tapscott Editorial Page Editor 07/06/10 4:36 PM EDT Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's decision to move unilaterally to save his state's beaches and marshes from the Gulf Oil Spill is drawing impressive support in a new Zogby International poll of more than 2,000 likely voters conducted at the end of June for the O'Leary Report. The survey asked respondents this question: <<< "Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal ordered the Louisiana National Guard and his own state government to take action to protect the state’s coastline eight weeks after the gulf spill started, even though some operations would take place in federal waters. The federal government stepped in to try to stop Jindal’s efforts because they were not coordinated with the federal response. Do you agree with Jindal acting unilaterally, or should he have waited for federal authorities?" >>> Sixty five percent of the respondents sided with Jindal, compared to 21 percent who said he should have waited for the federal government to act first. Support for Jindal was even more pronounced among independents at 70 percent, with only 15 percent saying he should have waited. A somewhat less impressive majority, 61 percent, of young voters aged 18-29 supported Jindal, with a quarter saying he should have delayed his response. O'Leary also notes that "a sizeable 68% of voters who had to pay taxes last year agree with Jindal acting unilaterally, as do 54% of voters who did not have any tax liability last year (due to either low income or numerous tax deductions)."
