GOP Senator Bill Cassidy's Chances of Losing to Trump-Backed Foe in Louisiana—Polls
Cassidy, who is running for a third term, faces difficult headwinds in the upcoming Republican primary.
www.newsweek.comHere are the latest poll-related updates I’m seeing about Sen. Bill Cassidy (Louisiana) heading toward the 2026 GOP Senate primary:
- May 16, 2026 (Newsweek): Reports a newer survey in which Cassidy trails a Trump-backed opponent in the GOP primary polling and frames it as a key test as voters get closer to the state contest.[7]
- May 2, 2026 (MSN/KMSS): Cites a poll (described as from Ragnar Research) saying Cassidy has the advantage among likely Louisiana Republican voters, including favorability numbers and a primary matchup picture (with figures reported in the article).[1]
- Dec 29, 2025 (YouTube summary via Today’s BluePrint News): References polling averages that show Cassidy leading the Republican primary, alongside favorability discussion. (This is video commentary, not a primary poll release.)[2]
Quick context (what these polls are about)
All of the items above are centered on Cassidy’s standing in the Louisiana Republican Senate field—either head-to-head or favorability/primary preference—using either a specific newly cited survey or an aggregation/analysis.[1][7]
If you tell me which opponent name you care about most (e.g., the Trump-backed challenger mentioned in the May 16 piece), I can focus the roundup just on polls involving that specific matchup.
