Seventy-four percent (74%) of Louisiana voters now approve of the job being done by Governor Bobby Jindal, a 10-point jump from April for the already–popular chief executive.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds that just 26% disapprove of the performance of the Republican governor who has taken a hands-on approach to the Gulf oil leak and been highly critical of the response by BP and the federal government.

These findings include 40% who Strongly Approve of Jindal’s job performance and 10% who Strongly Disapprove.
