    November 2, 2010

    November 2, 2010 The March 2010 elections included a special election for Justice of the Peace, Ward 3 (Blanchard District) to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Honorable James H. “Jim” Foshee. The May 2010 election included the run-off for the Justice of the Peace seat as well as three propositions from the Parish Commission. During the Fall 2010 election cycle, Louisiana had party primaries for its federal elections for U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress. These were “party specific” primaries where Democrats could only vote on the Democratic candidates and Republicans could only vote on the Republican candidates. Libertarian candidates also ran in a party specific primary in the August 2010 election. Any candidate filing as a “no party” or “other party” was eligible to run only in the general election in November 2010. The local and state elections were open primary elections where all candidates regardless of party appeared on the October 2010 ballot. The top two vote-getters in October, regardless of party affiliation, faced each other in the November general election; however, if a candidate received 50% of the vote plus one vote in October's election, there was not a run-off in the November general election. There was a special election for Lieutenant Governor in October and November 2010 due to the election of Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu as Mayor of New Orleans. There was also a special election for Louisiana House of Representatives, District #5 in the October 2010 primary election. There was no need for a run-off election for this office in the November general election.

Those interviewed were randomly selected from a list of likely voters from the voter file obtained from the Louisiana Secretary of State. A likely voter is defined as an individual who has voted at least three times in the last five statewide elections.1 Interviews were conducted from October 15 through October 21, 2016. The combined landline and cell phone sample matches the regional, gender, age, and race parameters of the population of likely voters in Louisiana. The overall survey has a margin of error +/- 4.0 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. Summary: A majority of likely voters say Louisiana is headed in the wrong direction, but respondents are more positive than they were a year ago. Governor Edwards’ job approval rating is 56 percent.
