Why is Edwards poll numbers so good right now?
Is he that popular or are his competitors that weak?

Two reasons:
1. Louisiana’s electorate is semi-retarded
2. Our Governor lies and campaigns very well

Both
Support for JBE is wide but not that deep (well he has a solid ~30% base).
But neither Rispone or Abraham has really been able to capitalize on JBE's weaknesses.

all of the above. conservatives are trying to mask his accomplishments, but we are enjoying a great economy and I just read a report that personal income is up 4.9% in Q2.

They have not been that good.
However, a poll just released shows him over 45% for the first time with undecideds leaning his way,
The pollster cautioned people that this might be an outlier, and said to look at subsequent polls for verification.

Everyone here wants something for nothing.
The poors want food stamps without having to work for it
The rich liberals want medicaid expansion so they can act like they care about the middle class
The rich conservatives want free college for pretty much anyone who can graduate high school.
While we match our southern neighbors on social issues, we are far, far, far to the left on economic and size of government issues.
And our current governor is pro-life and pro-gun, so he can't be attacked on social issues.
For our two GOP candidates, one is uninspiring AF and looks to be more of a RINO with every passing day, and the other one has good ideas but can't stop tripping over his dick.
We have the worst economy in the country, but it is growing... so our illiterate citizenry doesn't understand the problem.
I understand why Scalise didn't run. And in some ways... we need him in DC. But he would be beating JBE by 15 points right now.

After the fiscal disaster of the Jindal years, JBE (with some luck and the aid of GOP legislature) has balanced the books. LA is not doing well economically compared to pretty much any other state, but he is getting credit for things being better than they were. Combine that with relatively weak opposition and some social issue positions that prevent him from turning off devout Catholics and evangelicals, and there you go.

Thanks for the insight.
As far as the 4 downvotes...oh well I guess you don't like people asking questions.
If you think I don't care about La politics...look at where I'm from...I have a mother and in-laws that still live in La. I might live in Alabama, but that's only because I've had stable employment here since 2002.

Both. Weak competitors and has run a good term. I am unsure of the desire of voting wealthy individuals into office in Louisiana. Louisiana politics are corrupt enough, do we need Rispone who owns ISC to run our state? I'm sure there are no self interests in it for him. Edwards has made some great strides imo and would like to see him serve again.
