Gov. Bobby Jindal’s presidential fundraising not as strong as that of main competitors

[TexasTowelie]

Washington — For most Louisiana households, $9.2 million represents a whole lot of money.

That’s how much supporters of Gov. Bobby Jindal raised through June 30 in an effort to win him the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, according to reports filed with the federal government and to information from the Jindal camp, covering Jindal’s official campaign committee and independent political groups aligned with him.

Even in the hyperinflated world of campaign fundraising for the 2016 presidential election cycle, $9.2 million is not chicken feed. But it’s far short of the amounts amassed to back other Republican contenders, including $119.4 million for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, $51.3 million for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and $45.2 million for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida.

Four other Republican candidates were outpacing Jindal by lesser amounts in the fundraising competition through June 30. (The current leader in the polls, real estate developer and reality TV celebrity Donald Trump, is a billionaire who has not mounted a fundraising effort to compete with his rivals.)

.....when a person stops and considers how many people in his own state would like to take a dump on his face. Does anyone know if his statewide popularity ratings as governor are in the double digits?
