Arnold Resurgent?
Last summer, I spoke at an event at which Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also talked. He was in the midst of doing battle with the Democrats in California's legislature and, above all, with the public employee unions, who were spending large amounts of money on advertising. At that time many were saying that his "reform" agenda, embodied in five propositions that will be on the ballot in November, was in deep trouble. Arnold expressed confidence and said that in his bodybuilder days, what he and his competitors most feared was peaking too soon. He argued that his opponents had peaked, and by November the voters would support his reform proposals.
In polling released Tuesday by Survey USA, the five proositions are all leading comfortably with likely voters--one by eleven points, the other four by at least twenty.
The survey only included a little over 500 likely voters on each issue, and there is plenty of time for voter sentiment to change. Still, a month out from the election, Arnold's bet is looking pretty good.

Excellent news.
Thanks for posting. The liberal media always wants conservatives & their reforms to look like losers.
California is climbing out of the liberal morass. The pendulum is swinging.....
Outstanding. Make it happen.
He's been doing a pretty darned good job lately, for a RINO.
Problems could occur if few people go out to vote for a special election. ATST, looks like this is from "likely voters" and those are the people who generally vote in all elections.
Finally! Maybe my red state will start hueing blue? (hey, a guy can dream can't he?)
Don't hold your breath....

Did you get that backwards?
I think you mixed up your reds and your blues.
California: Where the Governor's a body-building action hero, and the Unions are nervous.
How about the handgun ban in San Francisco???
Let's watch the dems stuff the ballots on election day and everyone declare how close the election was...
What is everyone's take on Prop 77? Seems like not such a good idea to me. Anyone know how other states deal with this issue?
From what I hear ... it's not a good idea ... but I'm still looking into it
Prop. 75 will be a combo earthquake/tsunami hitting the union thugs.
