Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's poll numbers are looking better -- especially among the state's independent voters -- and he has gained the edge when matched against his potential Democratic challengers in the November general election, a Field Poll released today shows.
The Field Poll released today showed the Republican governor has improved his standing and is now viewed favorably by an equal percentage of voters surveyed -- 46 percent -- as those who view him unfavorably.
The governor's improvement is based on a significant jump among independent voters. Independents view him positively by 46 to 41 percent -- an increase from a February Field Poll that showed only 34 percent of independents viewed him favorably and 56 percent saw him unfavorably.
The poll also showed the governor ahead of Westly, 44 percent to 42 percent, in a head-to-head race and topping Angelides in a general election matchup by 46 percent to 39 percent.
The governor's improved poll numbers are a major turnaround from November, when the voters soundly rejected his slate of special election ballot measures. Schwarzenegger had campaigned as an aggressive Republican partisan, criticizing the Democrats who control both houses of the Legislature, and blasting nurses, teachers and firefighters as special interests who control Sacramento.

Funny, you don't advocate gettin rid of any of the DEMOCRAT liberals.
"Conservatives I talk to on the west coast say they've had it with Schwarzy "

Yes, we know, "conservatives" that YOU talk to, like Boxer, Feinstein, Angelides -- yes, they hate Arnold.
Others are starting to realize that we better vote for Arnold, if we don't want to send CA to h*ll in a handbasket.
So how come you never criticize the leftist liberals, always only the Republicans?
That's what the DU-ers do -- bash Republicans, glorify Dems.
Well, you know, when there is an election right around the corner, it's the pollsters that have to move to the center.
I mean, if they are 10 points off from the election results, it makes them look like the donks they are.
He hasn't moved to the "center." He has moved to the pro-big government left. Why are you wasting your time helping him?
And why would YOU want to help Angelides or Westly to defeat Arnold??????
Paid shill *cough* paid shill.
Who is Schmidt?
Steve Schmidt
Is he the governor's press spokesman or campaign manager or something? FO, do you communicate with this guy?
" The comparison strategy, which we currently endure, was floated on FR a week before Schmidt mentioned it at a pressor."

And of course that couldn't possibly be just good old GMTA ("great minds think alike")-- it must be a conspiracy -- in Amerigomag's mind.
Those are things that anyone who stops and THINKS, instead of rants mindlessly, can figure out.
"Paid shill *cough* paid shill."

Thanks for admitting that you are a paid shill for the CA Democrats.
Do you chat with Schmidt? I think that was the question I asked. Your choices are yes, no, no comment, or ignore my inquiry. Freedom is a wonderful thing. So many choices, so little time.
My post 31 covered it.
Next thing people will be asking, is whether I am in close contact with Karl Rove, or whether I am at least his long lost cousin, or something.
I don't respond to ludicrous inquiries.
Sure, I am "all powerful" and I am pulling the strings of the entire CA Republican party. I am going to start pulling the strings behind the RNC next and get it back on track.(/sarcasm -- least someone will jump on it and claim I just made an admission -- really, people)
I would respond, that I have never talked with Schmidt in my life, or if I have, it was about what were the best restaurants in Visalia or something. The key to credibility is to answer questions straight up, or state, it is none of your business, and buzz off. That clears out the mush. Folks appreciate the candor. Trust me.
Steve has an excuse. Political prostitutes deal, not in original thought, but rather, in effective presentation designed to efface and obscure.
Bill Chambers for Governor ! He'll get California back on the right track !
Names, Junior, give us some names. Who is paying me ? Put up or shut up.
Of course not. You merely make ludicrous postings.
Well, you know what they say, one ludicrous posting deserves another.
And "ask a silly question, get a silly answer"
And you guys for the past several posts were making personal attacks and directed personal inquiries towards me, instead of discussing the issues: do you want Arnold or Angelides as the next governor of CA. Well????
Neither. Both are liberals. We want a Conservative. Spare me your predictable response about how "wonderful" a Republican Ah-nold is, because he isn't. Most of us here are Conservatives. We're Republicans because the party is (or SHOULD be) a Conservative one. As soon as the GOP decides it wants to mimic the Democrat party and its long history of Scandal, Slavery, Socialism, Statism, and Subversion, we no longer have any need for it. You listening, kid ?
