A new Field Poll out today shows U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein retaining her strong lead in the Senate race, while support for a preschool funding initiative on the June ballot is narrowing.

February 56%, 28%, 16%
Based on a survey of 706 likely general election voters voters April 3-10. Results have a margin of error of plux or minus 3.8 percentage points, meaning actual public opinion I likely no more than 3.8 points higher or lower than results shown here.

The damn-near-nonexistant Republican Party in California has ceded BOTH Senate seats a long time ago.
Feinstein is a bulletproof Douche bag politically. She will either Die in office or retire.
Frankenfeinstein ping!
The off-the-charts terrible Prop 82 is leading 52% to 39%, but since this is a Field poll it very well may actually be a tie.
Sure she does ... and I know who her voters are as well... IDIOTS, all of them.
Can somebody explain to me why a candidate named "Mountjoy" is not running away with the race in the Bay Area?
Can't disagree with you there.
I ran my own poll and she lost two to zip.
That's the way most senate seats are. It's either because they all do such a good job or the system is corrupt
The preschool education thing will probably win - it's Rob Reiner's "last hurrah" -- I suppose I should be grateful that at least this time he's not asking for smokers to fund it - now he's going after the people with high incomes.
As for Feinstein - the blue counties will vote her in while geographically, the greater area of red counties will once more find themselves completely unrepresented in the Senate.
Greetings from the Peoples Republic of California. Where do I submit my request for regime change?
Baaa Baaa!
If Richard Riordan hadn't made her back out of the governor race to clear the way for Schwarzenegger, she may have entered. That may be the only way to get her out.
Actually, I'm surprised that it's this close.
It's getting harder and harder to unseat an incumbent period, even in non-lefty-loony states and districts. Look at McKinney: ousted in 2002, back in in 2004. But senators especially. Unless they do something (a) illegal or (b)totally off the wall. Boxer and Feinstein will be like Ted K and Byrd. Look at Murray and Cantwell in WA. Even Murray's hare-brained statements about Osama's day care centers doesn't effect the voters.
One reason why the Maryland Senate race is so interesting this year. Sarbanes is stepping down and Steele (R) has a real chance to win. Now if only Mikulski would follow suit.....
