It's the final week of campaigning before Louisiana's primary elections Saturday. Will any candidates make a move?

Voter turnout is expected to be low, which means candidates can who get their voters to the polls could surprise. With that in mind, could front-runner Jeff Landry pull off a win Saturday and avoid a runoff?


Pollster John Couvillon says there may be a boost, but not that much of a boost.

"So I see this as providing a couple-point boost, but not like a ten or twenty point boost," said Couvillon.

And Couvillon points out those early Republican votes could just as easily be going to Republicans who aren't Jeff Landry. And Couvillon still thinks Democrat Shawn Wilson will poll well enough to force a runoff.

"Even on a bad day, Democrats in Louisiana can get 40 percent of the vote," Couvillon said.
