We have dueling poll results released today for Bobby Jindal. What makes them so notable is that both polls were conducted by Republicans. If you are in New Orleans today, the Times Picayune published the following headlines:

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's approval rating stands at 50 percent, according to a poll released Monday by his political consultancy firm. According to the poll released Monday by OnMessage, Inc., half of those polled approved of the governor's job performance while 46 percent disapproved. The numbers were a four point increase over previous OnMessage ratings for the governor.The rest of the country is reading another headline today: Poll: Bobby Jindal Is Still Very Unpopular In Louisiana

Q. Bobby Jindal Favorable……………………35% Unfavorable………………….51% Not Sure…………………….14%http://conservativeintel.com/...
