-David Vitter will start the 2015 race for Governor as a pretty strong early favorite. He has a 51/33 approval spread, some of the best numbers we've seen for him during his time in the Senate. Vitter leads in hypothetical match ups with Democrats Mitch Landrieu (50/37) and John Bel Edwards (51/30), and would also have the upper hand against fellow Republican Jay Dardenne (41/29) if two candidates from their party made it through to the runoff. Dardenne also leads Landrieu (46/36) and Edwards (48/27) in hypothetical contests so the GOP starts out ahead by double digits in every possible iteration we looked at.

-Bobby Jindal continues to be one of the most unpopular Governors in the country, with only 35% of voters approving of him to 53% who disapprove. Even among Republican primary voters in his home state only 37% want him to run for President, compared to 51% who think he should sit it out. Mike Huckabee is the top choice of GOP primary voters in the state at 20% to 13% for Jindal, 12% for Ted Cruz, 10% for Rand Paul, 9% for Jeb Bush, 8% each for Chris Christie and Paul Ryan, 7% for Marco Rubio, and 2% for Scott Walker.
All the Republican contenders for President lead Hillary Clinton in hypothetical contests, but the margins are closer than they've been in the state since her husband was on the ticket. Christie leads her by just a point at 44/43, Jindal's up 2 at 47/45, Paul leads by 4 points at 47/43, Huckabee has a 5 point advantage at 49/44, and the strongest Republican with a 7 point edge at 50/43 is Jeb Bush.

I may have a mental breakdown if the 2016 election is Jeb vs. Hillary.

Serious question, what exactly has Jindal done to get such a negative rating?

What do people not like about Bobby Jindal in Louisiana so much?

He refuses to go on the Moon Griffon show.

My biggest gripe is he hides behind the constitutional constraints yet refuses to do anything to fix our clusterfrick of a constitution

Most of his reforms aren't really reforms. Most of them are just made to look like attempts at reforms in order to check some box on his national electability resume. For example, his ethics reforms exempt his own office. His educational plan hacked a lot of spending without addressing the reasons why that was the only place spending could be cut or why so much money was needed in the first place. He proposed ending the state income tax without actually thinking through where the state would make up that money without adding to property taxes (which most individuals don't pay). His voucher plan is a good idea poorly executed and may be unconstitutional. His "discussions" at legalizing marijuana are nothing more than "discussions" meant to generate good publicity and no real changes.
He's seen as an empty suit who had so much promise, but instead focused too much on his resume and not enough on actually trying to help his state.

Well 0% of blacks will approve of him, which makes up a large portion of this state. Also 0% of teachers approve of him, just those two groups alone gets you pretty damn close to those numbers.
Having a name like Piyush Jindal still doesn't fare well with some folks.

My beef with him is that he's too tied to the GOP. I'm also not a big fan of corporate welfare (tax cuts for selective industries instead of across the board cuts)

Idiotic southern voters are going to support Hillary because they think they'll be getting Bill. I still can't believe you guys fell for his BS in the 90s.
