If the election for governor of California were held today, Republican Meg Whitman would edge out Democrat Jerry Brown 46% to 39%, according to a new CBS 5 KPIX-TV poll of likely voters released Monday.

Brown, currently California's Attorney General, leads by a not surprising 2-1 margin in the Bay Area, but trails in the rest of the state, according to the poll data.

The poll found Whitman, former CEO of eBay, has leads built up among men and affluent voters. She gets 77% of Republican voters, while Brown gets the support of 64% of Democrats. Independents break by a 5-4 margin for Whitman.

In the race for U.S. Senator from California, Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer and Republican Carly Fiorina are effectively even, the poll found.

Fiorina got 47% voter support compared to Boxer's 45%, which is within the poll's four percentage point margin of error.

The poll found twice as many Democrats cross-over to vote Republican as Republicans who cross-over to vote Democrat in the senate race.

Meg Whitman leads by 46% to 39% over Governor Moonbeam.

Carly Fiorina has edged ahead of Barbara “Feminazi” Boxer by 47% to 45%.

I look forward to other polls confirming this.

polls are looking good for the GOP as we get closer. Poll after poll is going in our direction. Even in the case like these where we are getting RINOs, it is far better than the alternative. Soon, we will have a Senate without Kennedy, Byrd, Specter, and Dodd, and maybe without Boxer, Feingold, Reid, and several other craptastic liberals.

Independents breaking for the Republicans? C’mon DemonRats, do your normal shtick - demonize Independents!

Where are the Fiorina bashers who condemned Sarah Palin for not endorsing Chuck Devore?

[Clintonfatigued]

That would be pretty pointless now. I’m not thrilled with Fiorina, but for a constituancy like California, she’ll do.

[SC Swamp Fox]

At this rate Graham, Snowe and Collins will be the most liberal senators left. </sarc>

[stevem]

I don’t buy it. California will go looney left for offices and everything else. I will believe otherwise only the morning after.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

A leftist will be the next Governor of California, and this is very sad, in too many ways to fully count. The same thing can, also, be said about the ‘10 Massachusetts Governor’s race.

I swore off HP products after the reign of Carly....

If the election for governor of California were held today, Republican Meg Whitman would edge out Democrat Jerry Brown 46% to 39%

In California, a Republican winning the governor's race 46%-39% would NOT be an 'edge out'....

It would be a landslide.

I want Carly Fiorina to oust Babs Boxer (whom I can’t stand) but, to me, Carly comes across as a cold, snobby, old, rich broad.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Carly Fiorina has edged ahead of Barbara “Feminazi” Boxer by 47% to 45%.

Heehee, 0basm....sorry ;)

[NeoCaveman]

Most of the fun of the Babs v Carly matchup is it features two nasty women being nasty as they want to be. The mud and the fur will be flying.

It’s the stuff pay per view is made of.

[Persevero]

Hey! you call her SENATOR! SENATOR! she EARNED that!!!

I don't like Fiorina, but we have to get Boxer out. Then, hopefully, next time there will be a real conservative candidate to vote for.

Here is a little anecdotal evidence that might help you understand the groundswell that is emerging in California.

Jane Dolan of Butte County in Northern Ca is the wife of Bob Mullholland, the James Carville of the California Democrat Party Political machine. She has been a Butte county supervisor for almost 30 years. Never has she had a serious worry about her seat. Her area was gerrymandered to include the very liberal downtown and the whole of Chico State University in Chico CA.

Even in 1994 when the Republicans won control of the state legislature for the first time in 60 years, Jane Dolan won re-election to her county seat very easily.

Our county elections are during the California primaries, which just took place in June. For the first time in 30 years Jane Dolan lost her re-election bid. Not did she just loose, the race was over and projected to be won by her opponent Larry Whall, and ultra conservative. of the poles closing.

Like I said, her seat encompasses all of Chico State University and housing areas, and all of downtown, along with an area of about 30 square miles in the country which consists of Almond and Walnut orchards with a scattering number of residents.

Also Chico is a very liberal city in the midst of a very conservative county. The liberals have controlled Chico City council for a very, very long time, but we even picked up a few conservative seats on the city council, but notr enough to control it. The liberals like to work also and they are looking at 25 to 28% unemployment in the city. Maybe the worse in the state, because the liberals constantly vote against job creating industries, and now it is even worse.

All this is very ominous and makes for the Democrats chances of winning the statewide seat this Fall very slim.

I find the Fiorina/Boxer race more interesting — seeing that nasty shrew Boxer thrown out of power would be great beyond description. As for the gubernatorial race, I don’t see much of a distinction between Whitman and Brown.

[AuntB]

I won’t vote for Whitman. Probably not Fiorina either.

STOP voting for the Rino’s they insist on giving us...like Whitman in California. Until they know we will NOT vote for them, they’ll just keep putting up more of the same.

Past time to send the GOP a message...GIVE us conservatives because we won’t vote for your rinos!

CHELENE NIGHTINGALE FOR GOVERNOR

No more California RINO/MCCAIN/ARNOLD wing votes!
Enough of this crappola. Why should I waste my vote on this pretend ‘conservative’?
