Louisiana has reelected Bobby Jindal (R) to serve another four years as the state’s governor, marking an end to a race that saw weak opposition and a relatively easy win for the popular governor.

Left-wing opposition elements were so disheartened by Jindal’s popularity and positive job performance that they failed to mount any well-funded candidate. In fact, Reuters was projecting an easy win for the incumbent a full eight hours before polls closed.

How popular?

Recent polls suggest the first-term Louisiana governor may easily win a second term against his opponents, who are polling in the single digits. In one poll released this month by WWL-TV in New Orleans, 57 percent of registered voters said they’d choose Jindal, while his nine opponents garnered only 15 percent combined.

That’s right: His nine poorly-funded opponents could barely muster 15 points — combined. In fact, not a single elected official bothered to challenge Jindal this time around — a rare occurrence in Louisiana.
