Fox News flash polls declared Carly Fiorina and Jindal to be the winners of the GOP's undercard debate.
Meanwhile, Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said that Jindal won the yesterday night debate.
"Cheers to @BobbyJindal, it's time for Republicans in Washington to fight!" she said adding, "Watching the #GOPDebate with millenials, their response is favorable towards @BobbyJindal whose responses have been strong and specific," she wrote on twitter.
According to the local Advertiser newspaper, Jindal delivered a solid, if less than spectacular, performance in debate.
"There are two goals in a debate - get through it without making a major mistake and then try to distinguish yourself from the other candidates. I thought Gov. Jindal got through without making a mistake, but I'm not sure he distinguished himself from the other candidates on the stage," he was quoted as saying.
In a statement, Jindal's campaign manager Timmy Teepell declared victory.
"We saw plenty of smooth talking and famous names running for President, but only one candidate in the race has the backbone, the bandwith and the experience to get the job done as President - Governor Jindal," he said.
