    In the still-unfolding Louisiana Senate race, when Republican Bill Cassidy wants to hurt Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu’s standing, he suggests that a vote for her is a vote for unpopular President Barack Obama.

    Democrats have their supposed bad guy too: When they want to hurt Cassidy, they link him to Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal.

    Like Obama’s nationally, Jindal’s approval ratings have dipped into the 40s. And Jindal’s stock is falling just as he’s considering a bid for the presidency in 2016.

    He’s angered state workers with layoffs, health care changes and attempts to lessen retirement benefits. His education policies have miffed public school teachers. And his patchwork approach to balancing the state’s budget has put Jindal at odds with conservative Republicans as well as Democrats. Repeated cuts have hit public colleges and health care services. And Jindal’s frequent out-of-state travel has soured some support for the governor.
