“With three weeks to go before the June 8 primary, Mr. Poizner is pulling off an unexpected rally. A survey to be released Thursday shows Ms. Whitman’s advantage dwindling to single digits, with 38% of respondents saying they would vote for her, and 29% for Mr. Poizner.
The widely trusted poll, by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California, follows similar results in other recent surveys that suggest a sharply tightened race. A May 10 SurveyUSA poll showed Ms. Whitman leading Mr. Poizner 39% to 37%. Ms. Whitman launched an expensive advertising blitz last fall. Mr. Poizner made up ground in the past several weeks, some political analysts said, by starting his own ad campaign.
The negative mood of voters this year has helped the Poizner campaign, said Mark Baldassare, president of the Public Policy Institute of California. “No one who’s the front-runner can feel safe and secure in the lead, because voting attitudes are in flux this year, and with that comes a lack of strong allegiance to candidates,” he said.”
Let’s see. Witless, Pozer, or Moonbeam. CA is sooo screwed.
I will not vote for another corporate elitist endorsed by the GOP mandarins. Whitman promises things that will never happen, like controlling the borders, ending sanctuary cities, denying benefits to illegals, reigning in the public unions. Get real. Her attacks on Poizner are incessant and adolescent. She strikes me as a horrible person.
Whitman has a new ad running on TV that doesn’t attack Poizner snd I gotta say it is a positive piece after all the mud slinging she has heaped on us since last fall. I think it will improve her numbers before the primary...
