SurveyUSA is a very good polling firm. These numbers are bad for Landrieu, she will have to fight her ass of and will still probably lose a close race.

It would be good to see her job approval rating, because favorable ratings often differ from job approvals in a higher number. But yes, the way LA is trending Republican and her 2 previous close elections make her the #1 target/opportunity for Republicans ... I could see Kennedy winning by 3-5%.

Once Kennedy's unfavorable's rise to normal levels for a Bayou pol, expect his numbers to fall accordingly. I still see this race as ending up as a 51-49  win for Landrieu.

An interesting factor to conisder is the abolishment of the November circus primary. I assume this will help the Republicans, who usually poll better on the first Tuesday of November?

Yes, in the 2006 election cycle I believe they were the most accurate.
