A $37-billion package of proposed public works bonds that has strong bipartisan support in Sacramento is in some peril among voters, along with ballot measures dealing with alternative energy and a cigarette tax, according to a new Los Angeles Times poll.
The vast majority of likely voters knew too little about the infrastructure bonds — backed by both Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democratic legislators — to express an opinion. After poll respondents were read a ballot summary of each measure, none of the items generated much enthusiasm. Only two eked out a bare majority: those on housing and disaster preparedness.
The measures on smoking and alternative energy were much better known, thanks to extensive advertising campaigns, but neither drew majority support.
Two of California's most durable Democrats, meanwhile, were in strong position as the November election nears. U.S. Sen Dianne Feinstein holds a hefty lead in her run for reelection, and Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown enjoys a sizable edge as he bids to become state attorney general, the poll found.
The positive news for Feinstein and Brown contrasted with a series of much closer contests in the so-called down-ballot races for statewide office. If a Democratic wave is building in the country, as polls suggest, it has yet to materialize in California.
The Nov. 7 ballot features, at the top of the ticket, the race between Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democrat Phil Angelides, the state treasurer. Also included are the Senate and down-ballot races, legislative and congressional contests and 13 initiatives...
In the campaign for U.S. Senate, Feinstein was leading Richard Mountjoy, a former Monrovia state senator, 54% to 36% among likely voters and 54% to 29% among registered voters. That compares to a 59%-to-30% advantage for Feinstein among registered voters surveyed in the last poll.

More proof that my state is over run with morons.
Mountjoy is gaining! Will Arnie and the CA GOP endorse him now?
LOL, as if more proof was needed.
A lot of those morons happen to be leaders in the Republican party in the state. How they could have let a crop of mostly unknowns run just doesn't make sense. There's some quality people, yes, but you really have to be a fanatic to know most of them.
It is like they're trying desperately to give away this state.
I LOVE cowgirls!
Especially smart ones : )

I'm surprised he is not up by ten.
*Blush*
Blush if you want, you are one of the most intelligent posters at FR. Keep pinging me!
You got it. I'll put ya on my shortlist. :-)
I love LIZ too! Get to know her. She is brilliant(plug for liz)
An investment for McClintock in 2006 will also be an investment for McClintock in 2010. A two-fer. :-)
Brown numbers are heading downward, but no movement foward for pooch.He needs some Bio ads to help him out. and with the Dems so depress because of the Gov race I can see some whacky stuff. I think Tom will drive high right wing turnout and pull him to victory and perhaps a surpise or two along the way.

Ditto.
