Rasmussen: Vitter's advantage expands

Great news for Senator Vitter and Republicans! Thought you would enjoy his You Tube about the Saints! Great week to be from Louisiana!

Rasmussen: Vitter's advantage expands Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) holds a commanding lead over Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-La.), his 2010 challenger, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.

Vitter leads Melancon by 24 points in the survey, leading 57 percent to 33 percent. That's a six-point improvement over his margin in January.

Last October, Rasmussen showed Vitter drawing less than 50 percent of the vote against Melancon – a sign of vulnerability that may have abated.

Vitter is one of two Republican incumbents that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is targeting, along with North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr.

The senator, who confessed to a prostitution scandal in 2007, has seen his favorability ratings rise, according to the poll, and two-thirds of Louisiana voters now view him favorably.

Melancon's favorability numbers are less impressive – a 45 percent plurality of Louisiana voters view him unfavorably, with just 39 percent viewing him favorably.
