Poll: David Vitter closing in on John Bel Edwards; separate pollster predicts big win for Edwards
One new independent poll in the Louisiana governor’s race suggests that Republican David Vitter is making some gains on his Democratic rival John Bel Edwards. But another pollster appears confident that Edwards will have a sizable win come Saturday night.
Both polls, conducted by JMC Analytics and MRI as the governor’s race nears the finish line, still show Edwards with a sizable lead over Vitter. MRI pollster Verne Kennedy ultimately predicts a large win for Edwards on Election Day.
JMC’s poll is more favorable to Vitter. It has him at 43 percent to Edwards’ 47 percent. MRI’s has Edwards at 48 percent to Vitter’s 41 percent, but when adjusted for a projected 26 percent black voter turnout, Edwards’ lead leaps to 52 percent to Vitter’s 40 percent.
The JMC poll was conducted Nov. 19 and has a 3.9 percent margin of error. It found undecided voters still favor Edwards over Vitter, but also under a narrower margin than previous polls from the firm.
