12. Even this poll does not contradict the Louisiana poll

Trump is still above water with Republicans. Throw in that this is Louisiana and that primary voters often are the most dedicated.

If his popularity is still this low in November, the composition of primaries now may mean that at a point the Republicans are polling poorly, they might be picking candidates less likely to win the general election.
