Two new polls Monday showed Democrat Jerry Brown leading Republican Meg Whitman in the race for governor, but the modest point spread indicates it will likely remain a tight contest to the finish.
The Rasmussen and SurveyUSA polls were the first taken since celebrity Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred revealed last week that Whitman had employed an illegal immigrant housekeeper for nine years -- a story that has dominated the campaign ever since.
The polls were released on a day when KGO-AM in San Francisco announced that a radio debate between Whitman and Brown scheduled for today had been canceled. Exactly why remains a bit of a mystery.
The Rasmussen poll of 750 likely voters showed 49 percent favored Brown, while 44 percent favored Whitman. In a similar survey two weeks ago, Rasmussen found the two candidates in a statistical dead heat -- Brown at 47 percent, Whitman at 46 percent

Why would a FReeper vote for Moonbeam? Whitman isn’t pure enough for them?
I think about that with mclame. I would’nt have the energy to to defend his obama-lite policies.
If Californians want to allow a slip and fall lawyer like Gloria Allred to have more influence over how they vote rather than the issues that actually impact California, then they get what they deserve. I wish California luck and now officially write the state off. It, along with NY and some other states will soon become irrelevant.
You mean like in Russia? Or maybe Cuba? Or how about Europe?
All Politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.
Hmmm,
What?
Interesting.
You too are very investing in radical leftist Brown winning .
What a shock ??
I am sure your just a very concerned “so called : conservative that wants a left wing
/Prop 13 hating / SEUI supporting/ Acorn loving/ Cal Nurse Assoc loving/ candidate to WIN.
And that make sense in what reality ??
Why don't you work so a radical leftists can win the Gov and state houses in your state house so it can be controlled by the radical leftists .
So decades later , the conservatives can magically sweep in make everything right.
I loved all those Sci Fi movies like :Return of the King ,
too !
I live in the here and now !
“All Politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.”
Thanks for being bold enough to say that.
If anything, racial politics are going to increase in “intensity” in the next 10-20 years, ultimately reaching a boiling point.
The election of a black to the presidency has done nothing to halt this trend and everything to exacerbate it. But then, considering the deteriorating “state of the races” over the last forty years, we should have expected nothing less that what we’re seeing now.
Another poster wrote:
“We are witnesses to the devolution of the U.S.A. This next election will show even greater political divisions among the states. Its inevitable.”
He, too, is exactly right. I’m beginning to believe that the issue is no longer _if_ the United States is going to dis-unite, but just when and how that is going to happen.
Whether the “splittin’” is going to be peaceful or traumatic, can’t say. We know what happened once before!
My “definitino” is somebody who isn’t Jerry Brown.
“Let him have it. Id rather have the Titanic slip beneath the waves with a Democrat at the helm than a RINO.
I am almost with you on that.
Whitman turned me off with her infatuation with Van Jones.
Anyway, I do not have a dog in that hunt, so I am ambivalent.
The land of nuts and fruits gets what it deserves.
Jerry Brown who Planned parenthood has spent millions on and who is supported by the Radical Socialist/Environ wacko/ Acorn loving nutters. But I did love that “ killing babies comments!!
Your just another ordinary GOP /Meg hater posters that wants Brown to win to prove a point !!
That makes sense to whom ?
Dang anklebiters! Can’t seem to shake ‘em off. ;-)
I know .
Its a grand idea to let MOONBEAM WIN.
What an original idea.
Are you still peddling the story that your overseas butr but still hate Meg Whitman from a far ??
