Abraham releases new poll- but is it really good for him?

Thursday's poll, which was paid for by the Abraham campaign, showed Edwards with 47 percent followed by Abraham with 22 percent and Rispone with 20. "The governor and my Republican challenger have spent a fortune on TV lying to the people of this state about my record and my character, and we're still standing," said Abraham, who's campaign says he's been outspent 10 to 1. "I'm not going to resort to those tactics," he said. "The people of this state deserve better than that. Republicans must unite to defeat this governor, and I'm going to lead by example."
Rispone's attack on Abraham is clearly having an effect. What is interesting is Abraham felt the need to release a poll claiming a "lead" that is really just a statistical tie between Rispone and he. In fact with a margin of error of 4.6%, Abraham's own poll could mean he is actually losing to Rispone.
What is more interesting though is the last poll I remember seeing had Edwards at 44, and this one has him at 47, very nearly what he would need to win in the primary. Again, the margin of error in this poll is huge. But if Abraham wants us to take the numbers in this poll at face value, then it shows he and Rispone both on the verge of being snuffed out in the primary.

I was a big Abraham supporter but have switched my support to Rispone. I pray for a runoff.

Ugh. My butthole is starting to tighten.
They need to train their guns on JBE.
WTF is the margin of error so high? Are they not taking enough of a sample?

I was originally leaning Abraham. Then I learned Rispone was the most open to the idea of a constitutional convention, this made him my favorite candidate. Then Rispone joined JBE and the Democrats in attacking a fellow GOP candidate, reminisced of Scott Angelle’s and Jay Dardenne’s despicable act.
I will not now vote for Rispone nor JBE in the jungle. I’m now 100% Abraham unless he becomes more trashy than Rispone.
In the unfortunate event that Rispone edges out Abraham, I will hold my nose and vote for him only because I find him only slightly less despicable than JBE.

Abraham is having his arse kicked by Rispone and he knows it. The fact that he even put this poll out is laughable.
From my small anecdotal sample size, everyone I know who watched that debate (which was way more than I expected) have switched from Abraham to Rispone.

“My republican challenger”
As if he’s already an incumbent or heir-apparent.

Not really but it is horrible for the GOP and the state. JBE's lead has increased and he is within the MOE from winning in the primary in the two polls that have been released since lying Eddie went negative on Abraham. If lying Eddie goes negative in the next two debates then we do not have to worry about a runoff because JBE will win with about 50.5% of the vote in the primary.

uh, yes. Still has him in the runoff

Which translates into Rispone possibly being at 16%. Exactly where he has been in almost every pother poll.
Plus very few people watched the debate. But even more people are pissed that he went after Abraham; just because HE DIDNT GIVE MORE TO CHARITY!! What a crock. Proves hes desperate.
But how desperate? Will he torpedo Abraham in the runoff? We will see

Wife and I are going Saturday to cast our vote for Rispone

Abraham is low energy establishment. He’s running for Governor because he knows there’s no room for him to move up in the GOP House hierarchy. He’ll never be like Scalise.

Rispone is exactly what we don’t need. Hes another Louisiana politician that will be more of the same. The attacks. The campaign basically being entirely about Trump for some reason. I dunno, bad feeling about him. My vote is Abraham
