Indian-American Bobby Jindal's presidential campaign seems to be gaining ground in the crucial primary state of Iowa, as a latest internal survey has put the Louisiana Governor to fourth place among 16 Republican aspirants.


Jindal (44) draws eight per cent support from likely GOP caucus-goers in Iowa, according to a survey conducted this week by his campaign, the Politico reported.


However, he still trails Scott Walker, who has a commanding lead with 23 per cent support in the poll, as well as Donald Trump and Jeb Bush, who polled at 13 and 9 per cent, respectively, it said, referring to the internal survey.


Ever since announcing his presidential campaign about a month ago, Jindal has spent a significant amount of time campaigning in Iowa; which would hold first of the major primaries in February.
