Is the Louisiana Senate race already over, or still a tight contest? Internal polls for both parties suggest two very different answers. The latest Democratic poll, conducted for Senator Mary Landrieu by the Mellman Group, surveyed 600 likely voters for a margin of error of +/- 4%. Landrieu, State Treasurer John Kennedy and Libertarian Richard Fontanesi were tested.

General Election Matchup
Landrieu........54
Kennedy.........34
Fontanesi....... 3

The Landrieu survey comes five days after Kennedy released his own poll showing him down just five points. We're awaiting a credible independent poll.
