Louisiana's sixth congressional district may tend to lean about 7 points more Republican than the nation as a whole in presidential elections (or at least did before Hurricane Katrina hit), but that doesn't appear to be stopping voters in the district from leaning (however slightly) towards electing a Democrat in a special election in the district next month.

Internal GOP polling already puts Democrat Don Cazayoux up 3 points in his race against Republican Woody Jenkins. Now internal Democratic polling shows largely the same result:

State Rep. Don Cazayoux (D) leads former Senate candidate Woody Jenkins (R) 49-44 in an internal poll released by Cazayoux's campaign Monday.

[...]

Cazayoux's lead in the poll closely mirrors other previously released polling on the head-to-head race. His poll was conducted in mid-March by Anzalone Liszt, which surveyed 500 likely special-election voters.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Cazayoux wouldn't be the most progressive member of the Democratic caucus in the House if he's elected next month. In fact, he'd likely be one of the more conservative members of the caucus. However, he'd certainly vote better than Jenkins, who is extremely far to the right, and he'd be another vote to ensure the vitality of the Democratic majority in the House. So if you'd like to help out his campaign, head over to his campaign website or his ActBlue page today to show your support.
