So speaking of the polls, how does Landrieu actually fare against some hypothetical candidates? (No Republicans have declared yet.) Turns out, she leads all of them, and pretty healthily, too. Note that the numbers in parentheses represent each potential opponent's favorability rating (or in the case of Jindal, job approval):
' 46-43 vs. Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne (41-23)There are a few themes and observations worth pointing out here. First and most important is that Landrieu is very close to or just at 50 percent against all but one potential candidate, something that has to make her feel good. It'll be a dogfight to make sure she does in fact claw her way to 50%+1, no doubt about it, but I'll take these numbers. There's plenty more to discuss, however, below the fold.' 48-42 vs. Rep. Charles Boustany (22-25)
' 49-41 vs. Gov. Bobby Jindal (37-57)
' 48-39 vs. ex-Rep. Jeff Landry (29-27)
' 48-38 vs. Rep. Steve Scalise (21-24)
' 50-40 vs. Rep. Bill Cassidy (19-24)
' 50-38 vs. Rep. John Fleming (20-21)
