Mary Landrieu in trouble in Louisiana. She already is trailing possible GOP challenger Bill Cassidy in polling. The latest Rasmussen pull finds Cassidy getting 44% of the vote with only 40% going to Landrieu. These are terrible numbers for an incumbent candidate in any state.

A new statewide telephone survey of Likely Louisiana Voters finds Cassidy, a U.S. congressman, with 44% support to Landrieu’s 40%. Five percent (5%) like some other candidate in the race, while 11% are undecided.
There are a number of factors to consider with this though. Cassidy is now slam dunk to get the GOP nomination to take on Landrieu. Rob Maness is the tea party conservative candidate that could beat Cassidy and his ‘moderate’ voting record.
Cassidy does have one advantage over Rob Maness. David Vitter endorsed BIll Cassidy for this year’s primary.
