Election 2010: California Senate

California Senate: Boxer's Support Remains in Low 40s

Incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer now receives no more than 43% support against any of her top three GOP opponents in her reelection bid for U.S. Senate in California, but they aren't gaining ground either.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of likely voters shows Boxer barely ahead of Congressman Tom Campbell 43% to 41% for the second straight month. Only six percent (6%) of voters would choose some other candidate in this match-up, while 10% are not sure.

These results are identical to those found in March, but Boxer held a 45% to 41% lead in this match-up in February.

Boxer now earns just 42% of the vote when matched against both former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, with just over 10% percent undecided in both match-ups.

Fiorina gets 38% support, while DeVore picks up 39% of the vote...

"At this stage of the campaign, any incumbent who earns less than 50% of the vote is considered vulnerable."

Go DeVore! We need a real conservative running against Boxer. The biggest problem DeVore has is name id. It really looks like 40% of the electorate would vote for any Republican against her and that is a good place to start. I signed up for a monthly contribution to DeVore like I did Rubio. Why doesn’t the conservative media and grassroots really start promoting DeVore? I don’t see enough articles about him and this race. Rubio sure got the treatment and both of these guys are very similar.

Tom Campbell 41%
Barbara Boxer 43%

Chuck DeVore 39%
Barbara Boxer 42%

Carly Fiorina 38%
Barbara Boxer 42%

Let’s see we have two uber-RINOs (Campbell, Fiorina) and a conservative (DeVore) all within striking distance. Think I’ll go with Chuck!

There is a word for Barbara Boxer, and it is a word that all self respecting women hate.

I can imagine no better word for this person, in fact, her picture should grace its definition in the urban slang dictionary IMO.

DeVore winning the primary and then beating Boxer would be better / bigger than Brown in MA.

I talked to him briefly at the Tea Party in Search Light and
he has my support 100%. If deep blue Ca elected a conservative like this I would, I would .... I don’t know!

But almost as nice would be to get rid of the evil witch rat boxer, even with a RINO’s like Campbell or Fiorina.

Besides Sen DeMint endorsing Chuck, and Beck & Hannity having him on their shows, there hasn't been a whole lot of publicity. Hopefully this changes. We need this guy in the Senate!

Boxer is essentially tied with all 3 GOP candidates, with Campdell doing only slightly better than Fiorina and DeVore.

Found this interesting though:
Support for the health care plan signed into law by President Obama is stronger in California than it is nationwide.Fifty percent (50%) of California voters think the law will be good for the country, which is 11 points higher than results found on the national level. Forty-one percent (41%) of voters in California think the health care law will be bad for the country.

Still, 51% of voters in the state favor repealing the law, including 44% who strongly favor it. Forty-four percent (44%) oppose repeal, with 37% who strongly oppose. Boxer carries 77% to 81% of the vote of those who strongly oppose repeal, depending on her opponent. The Republicans earn roughly 70% of those who strongly support repeal. “

So lemme see if I get this right.
50% of Californians support 0bamcare, yet at the same time, 51% support REPEALING 0bamcare?
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You either like it, or you don't. You can't both support the bill and simultaneously want the bill repealed.

In any case, if 51% are for repealing 0bamcare, that should give the GOP candidates a lot of hope for November, if they run on the “repeal and replace” platform.
DeVore is the best man for the job.

I hope so too. If Campbell wins this it would be a travesty. It would be like running Arnold Schwarzenegger for Senate.

BEcause she is so wildly unpopular Boxer will rely on an even more of a negative campaign than she typically runs this year - I hope the GOP is preparing accordingly.

Hope springs eternal.

Yes, in deep blue Ca it has to be this way no matter what some guy from Nebraska who knows nothing about Ca says. Elect conservatives from dark red conservative states and a RINO from CA who votes with us 50% will not matter and is better than the 0 we get with the witch rat boxer. Elect conservatives from conservative states before we worry about extreme liberal Ca with 10 + million in LA county and millions more in the bay area who I will assure you are NOT conservative. Lets start here where we have been betrayed by the mid west fly over states.

According to those numbers she’d win, wouldn’t she?

But I hope we Box Boxer.
