CA: Boxer has Six-Point Lead Over Fiorina in Senate Race.
Field Poll (PDF FILE) ^ | September 24, 2010 | Mark DiCamillo and Mervin Field

BOXER HAS SIX-POINT LEAD OVER FIORINA IN SENATE RACE.
MOST VOTERS BASING THEIR CHOICES ON PRO OR CON FEELINGS ABOUT BOXER.
MANY VOTERS STILL HAVEN’T FORMED AN OPINION OF FIORINA.

In the U.S. Senate race Democrat Barbara Boxer is holding on to a six percentage point lead – 47% to 41% – over her GOP rival Carly Fiorina.

This is a slightly bigger lead than the incumbent had over Fiorina in Field Poll surveys taken in July and March of this year.

September 2010         47%         41         12
July 2010              47%         44          9
March 2010             45%         44         11
January 2010           50%         35         15
October 2009           49%         35         16
March 2009             55%         25         20
Preference motivation

At this point in the campaign majorities of supporters of Boxer and those backing Fiorina appear to concur on one thing about this year’s U.S. Senate contest – the race is primarily about the incumbent.

Two-thirds (65%) of voters who support Fiorina say that their preference is more a vote against Boxer than it is an affirmation of Fiorina’s own candidacy (31%). Among Boxer supporters 67% say their vote is more a vote for Boxer than it is a vote against her opponent (29%).

Boxer voters           67%         29           4
Fiorina voters         31%         65           4

Some things never change. Many of the established are still playing out of the old playbook. That is precisely why they will lose.

BINGO!

Exactly which half of Mark Kirk's hardcore leftist political leanings do you agree with?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, no! She is running MUCH more of a campaign than Jones, IMO. (Of course, that’s not hard to do — since he didn’t campaign at all, LOL.) She is actually working very hard — getting out there to try to energize voters. I’ve seen her ads quite a few times. Unfortunately, her message is unappealing. She sounds too much like her opposition in touting the same old crap. And, her history works against her (and Boxer has been beating on it day-in and day-out).

Gee you think Carly would have had a better shot had she not run HP into the ground?

I always get a kick out of people who always believe what they are told.

All of this baloney that a real conservative can’t win in certain states is a RINO myth. A myth that keeps RINOs in power.

You can’t vote for what you aren’t offered. A conservative that runs in these states are not supported by the GOP. If they were, they could win.

O’Donnell is a perfect example of that. She did win the primary. That tells us something.

...............Take an arrogant, hated, liberal (Boxer) and choose an arrogant, hated, moderate to liberal (Carly) to run against her. Brilliance! /s

I certainly do not believe that a STRICT CONSERVATIVE would have a chance of winning this time. Carly Fiorina would be a huge improvement. We must remember..one step at a time.

Yes I do know CA!

Why should I?

My answer to your first question was already given, and consequently, the second question is not applicable.

Why don’t you read what I wrote. Your answer is there.

I’m still waiting for your definition of “conservative”, though.

I would, but by the grace of God, I live in the great Commonwealth of Virginia.

Ditto here. I was born in California and escaped from there in 1976 and have lived in the Hampton Roads since 1995.
