Incumbent Arnold Schwarzenegger is the top contender in California’s gubernatorial race, according to the latest poll by Zogby Interactive. 49 per cent of respondents in the Golden State would vote for Schwarzenegger, while 41 per cent would support Democrat Phil Angelides.

This is very good news! :)
Is Angelides the guy who came here to clean your toilets or is that some other rat?
Polls are still polls.
Be wary of them.
AHHHnold is no conservative but he's light years better than Angelides.
I think he is the guy who came here to clean out your wallet, banking accounts, and income.
Who's the CA Chicano who said he came here to clean your toilets? People were sending him brushes.
"I think he (Angelides) is the guy who came here to clean out your wallet, banking accounts, and income.

Good summary!
ANGELIDES:
Angelides calls himself a champion of "progressive values." As state treasurer, he has pushed public pension funds to dump tobacco stocks, invest in urban renewal projects and pressure corporations into cleaning up the environment. A close ally of labor, he also supports abortion rights, gay marriage, gun control and driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.
If he makes it into a general-election race, his call for increasing taxes could pose problems; Schwarzenegger has been steadfast in opposing higher taxes.

You know what's sad about this? Schwarzenegger would still be ahead or by more if he had held to conservative principles.
Especially when they're Zogby Interactive.
I think anybody who looks at the sad state of affairs under Grey Davis, and what a noticably improved condition CA is in under Gov Schwarzenegger..should admit he deserves another term.
Zogby interactive is legit -- this is not like the polls where anyone can just participate, you have to be invited and can only vote once. This kind of interactive is more reliable than phone polls, because no sensible people ever pick up the phone and talk to a pollster anymore, but they are willing to participate in online polls.
Sure Maria. Sure it is.
Agreed. I think a RINO like himself is the closest thing to a Conservative that California will ever allow.
Based on his record the past three years, tell us how so.
Since there are only TWO choices: Arnold or Angelides, if you don't consider Arnold leading in the poll, I guess you must be an Angelides supporter.
false and phony polls..if I recall when Arnold won the recall..the "polls" had him down..yet he garnered more votes than gray davis to stay in office..which he was not compelled to do..so..just biased polls to me..
There are more than two choices, and I never indicated who I was supporting. I was ridiculing your assertion that there is something exciting about a headline that declares "Light brown, is leading over beige " Angelides and Arnold are essentially the same thing. So chill.
correction to my post 15:
Since there are only TWO choices: Arnold or Angelides, if you don't consider Arnold leading in the poll GOOD NEWS, I guess you must be an Angelides supporter.
Angelides and Arnold are essentially the same thing.

This is the most ridiculous statement of the CA elections.
They are polar opposites -- even Angelides is running as "anti-Arnold"

In the meantime, Arnold:
"They're focused on the Capitol's perpetual war between business and the big four Democratic Party subfactions: labor unions, personal injury lawyers, environmentalists and consumer protection advocates.
The past two years have been bleak ones for the Big 4 because Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has aligned himself with the California Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, rejecting nearly all of the measures they had dubbed "job killers." Schwarzenegger and business, moreover, bulldozed the Legislature into approving an overhaul of worker's compensation that authorities say is reducing employers' costs by $15 billion a year. It was the most significant advance either side had made in the war in many years and one that Democrats and their allies now want to undo. "

Arnold also vetoed the homsexual marriage bill, which Anglides and Westly are on record of supporting.
Arnold made the legislature rescind the drivers licenses for illegals bill, then when they put it on his desk again, he vetoed it. Angelides and Westly are on the record FOR the bill.
Arnold categorically refused to raise taxes, despite Dem pressure and his Dem opponents are proposing huge tax increases.
There are huge differences with major impacts on CA, between Arnold and the Dems.
Angelides and Arnold are essentially the same thing.
