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 HAVENT 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.

Maybe she’s saving her money for a late media bliz, who knows.
Are you in CA?? If so....WHO are you voting for...I EXPECT an ANSWER.
I freaking told you...I’;m in Illinois....DOWNTOWN CHICAGO!!
Sooo dearie...back at you...WHO are you voting for???
Phew!
Do you feel as passionately about voting for Mark Kirk?
Why don't you go yell at some Illinois folks?
BINGO!
I HAVE to vote for KIRK....I am a grown-up and things aren;t always what I’d like them to be....I’d rather have someone that agrees with me HALF the time, than someone who agres with me at NO time and RUINS the country!! Kirk won.
waiting......
Exactly which half of Mark Kirk's hardcore leftist political leanings do you agree with?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Did I vote for McCain?
(Hint: That's your answer.)
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?
One point...he isn’t the DEMOCRAT! PERIOD.
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.
Obama IS a conservative! He opposes same sex marriage! Vote OBAMA!
/s (did I really need to add that?)
No....answer who you are going to vote for in THIS election....geesh.
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.
Ditto here. I was born in California and escaped from there in 1976 and have lived in the Hampton Roads since 1995.
