The prospects of Democrats picking up another Senate seat are dimming as a new poll of the Louisiana Senate run-off shows Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy holding a comfortable lead over Democratic Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell.

According to The Advocate, a poll conducted by Trafalgar Group found 48 percent of respondents were firmly behind Kennedy and a further 10 percent were leaning his way.

Only 27 percent of respondents said they firmly support Campbell with an additional 8 percent are leaning his way.

Kennedy and Campbell were the top two vote-getters in the open primary on Election Day and will meet in a run-off on Dec. 10.

The Trafalgar Group, a GOP polling outfit, said in a news release that the Senate race differed from the state’s gubernatorial race last year, when Democrat John Bel Edwards beat Republican Sen. David Vitter.
