Sacramento, CA (LifeNews.com) -- The first poll coming out of California following Tuesday's primary election, where pro-life candidate Carly Fiorina is taking on stalwart abortion activist Sen. Barbara Boxer, shows Fiorina trailing by five percent. The race will likely become one of the marquee battles for the pro-life movement in 2010.
The new Rasmussen Reports poll shows both Boxer and Fiorina received small bumps in their numbers after he Tuesday election.
Now, its survey of likely voters has Boxer picking up 48% support over Fiorina’s 43% and another 5 percent support another candidate while five percent are undecided.
Support for both nominees is at its highest level so far this year as the last poll conducted before the primary election had Boxer with a 45 to 38 percent lead over Fiorina.
"Before the Republican Primary, Fiorina was running worse than primary opponent Tom Campbell, a former congressman. But Fiorina came up strong on Tuesday, picking up 56% of the vote over Campbell’s 22%," Rasmussen notes.
Boxer, who is seeking a fourth six-year term, has yet to reach the 50% level of support in the general election -- a critical mark for incumbents

I am so embarrassed for my native state. Bunch of heathens & child slaughterers living there now.
“My guess is that’s about as close is Carly will get.”
Yep...she’ll miss it by a hair...
I think you’re about right. The same goes for Whitman vs. Brown. This state is beyond saving (not that I really believe Meg and Carly would be saviors, just a marginal improvement on the status quo).
Battle of the hairdos.
Will “pro-life” Senator wannabe Fiorino sign a pledge to not confirm pro-abortion judges or will she stick to her statement that abortion should not be a litmus test for Supreme Court picks?
Cmon Jim, it’s “settled law”. You know that.
I suspect the right is more motivated this year and while most don’t like Fiorina having Boxer back is far worse. Let them run all the polls they want and we’ll see just who shows up to vote this year.
Any bets on when Carly makes the HARD LEFT TURN???
It’s a tough one to win. To win it, Carly will have to do really well with independents and somehow energize Republicans to get a high GOP turnout. Boxer is not a very strong incumbent so she could lose this election by a close vote.
I think Whitman will likely win. Of course, getting Arnold in a dress might not be such a great thing. But Moonbeam had such an awful record as gov, CA might dump him.
Wonder if a now plump Linda Ronstadt will campaign for him?
That means Boxer could lose this election in a close vote.
I found it extraordinarily interesting the other day that a woman who was 7 months pregnant shot herself in the stomach but missed her unborn child. Had the baby been harmed or killed, the woman would have been charged. (News article didn’t say what she’d have been charged with??) However, a woman can kill an unborn child by having an abortion and it’s not murder.
If I live to be as old as Methusaleh, I will never understand that reasoning. The pro-abortionists have a really twisted sense of morality. And yet they call themselves Christians!

“that’s about as close is Carly will get.”
Ditto.
Depends on the polls.
Anti-Babs commercials should be such fun.
Nationalize the issues to have all eyes on CA...remind that as it goes, so goes the nation.
High unemployment among democrats may cause lack of enthusiasm for Boxer and a low democrat turnout. So Carly could win this in a very close vote count. At least Carly knows something about business and economics and isn’t going to be easily duped about global warming by gubmint-funded scientists. She’s much better for the country than Boxer.
You don't want to replace Boxer with a probably-not-solid Pro-Life candidate? Any question about whether Boxer would sign the pledge???? This is how we end up with a Congress that legislates abortion--making the perfect the enemy of the good (or at least better).
That’s “Senator Babs” to you, don’t you know
