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.
