It was this rag that had Busemonte (sp) beating Schwarzenegger by 10 points the day before the election.

By 56% to 42%, likely voters support ousting the Democratic incumbent, a sign that Davis has lost ground in the closing phase of his battle for political survival.--SNIP-- The Republican actor is favored by 40% of likely voters, followed by Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, a Democrat, with 32%, and state Sen. Tom McClintock (R-Thousand Oaks) with 15%.

He won with 48% on election night. Republicans are generally undercounted in public opinion polls and the Dem candidate has always led the generic ballot poll. Coming out of his convention in 1988, Michael Dukakis had a 15 point polling advantage. On election night, Bush won going away 53%-46%. Neither Obama nor Hillary is going to do better than Democratic presidential candidates have done for decades so to beat McCain they will seek to make the election a referendum on the hugely unpopular Bush.

Sorry about that. It seems I was looking at an August poll and in checking back now see it wasn’t even an LAT one. My bad.
