Suffolk poll shows Barbara Boxer moving into lead
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 10/27/10 | Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau

Democrats are breathing easier in the California Senate race, pointing to a Suffolk University poll out late yesterday showing incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer with a hefty nine point lead over GOP challenger Carly Fiorina, close to the 8 point lead shown in the L.A. Times poll over the weekend.

Republicans will find this harder to dismiss than the LAT poll. Even Rasmussen shows Boxer maintaining a four-point lead. Few voters remain undecided.

There's only one poll that matters, and after it is over we will be calling Barbara Ann "Ma'am."

“Republicans will find this harder to dismiss than the LAT poll.”


Yeah, because Suffolk University in Boston has such a good track record and is so experienced at polling in California. /s//

Democrats have this one in the bag.

Despite all her money, Whitman was deep-sixed by Gloria Allred & a complicit media, the turning point of this campaign. They created a firestorm in a slow news cycle.

California’s idiot liberals can breathe easy and relax. No need to get all worked up. The fat lady has sung.

This must be what the radio news deliverer was crowing about this morning...reporting Carly in the hospital and saying that she’d best get back out on the campaign trail because the latest polls show Boxer “comfortably ahead”.

Until now I hadn’t seen polls that showed a comfortable gap.

Are these polls for real and if so, what accounts for the witch/hag, meaner-than-a-junkyard-dog Boxer’s poll resurgence? Is it women afraid that Carly will somehow take away their abortion rights? ‘Cause Boxer is personally unpopular and has the worst record of any Senator as a legislator.

What gives?

Does that include the voter fraud or is that without it?

BigGovernment.com has as it’s first 8 articles voter fraud that is taking place.

Sample demographics from the poll internals:

44.7% Democrat
30.7% Republican
24.7% Independent/Unenrolled

"The fat lady has sung"

She's also sung for the demise of the state. It's one thing to elect a liberal for governor if they are that stupid but I resent them re-electing a liberal to the senate who will impact all of us with her mindless votes.

BOYCOTT CALIFORNIA !!!!

Another bogus pool. I looked at the details - 600 likely voters in California. True, but then:

45% Dem, 31% Repub and 25% Ind, or did not state

57% said they had favorable opinion of Obama (enough said!)

23% were from LA, 29% Bay Area, etc - heavy urban sampling.

This may be the demographics of Calif these days, but doubt they will be the demographics of the voters next Tuesday.

While the Dems will likely vote more in Calif than elsewhere (they have to keep socialism alive in their state), I think everyone is underestimating the Repub and Independent (conservative) turn out.

its funny its only the lib sided pollsters showing this as a gap, on saturday, Ras had this as 48/46.

So read into it what you will. They need to show Boxer ahead or the floor will fall out under her, if Californian voters thought she was losing many would not bother their asses to come out and vote. This is the game plan. The RNC and DNC would not be still ploying millions this week if it had gone to a large gap, this one is close.

Sorry, my mistake. I’m thinking Brown/Whitman, probably the most discouraging of the two.

I’m not really aware of how Fiorina has run her campaign. I do know that Boxer appears to be immune from her anti-military, anti-american, socialist views.

Suffolk U and PPP are not worthy of your attention. Their internals are absurd. Rasmussen’s latest is at Boxer +2, and the latest Fox poll is at Boxer +4. I have to admit that the Fox poll is a bit disconcerting, but the race is still within reach. In this remarkable year, no one really knows who will and who will not turn out to vote.

I am not going to be a downer here...but...I do see us winning in a lot of places this Tuesday...but...we peaked too early by 4 or 5 weeks in many races we would have shut down back in late August early Sept.

Too bad. Boxer deserved to be smacked down the most next to Reid.

My opinion about the candidates in this race is about the same as, the difference between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb.

Four point lead might not hold....we need to get out our vote ....this is doable. I have heard some commentators who say this years dems need a seven point lead or more, just saying!!
