SAN DIEGO -- According to an exclusive 10News/Survey USA poll, if the election were held today, Gov. Gray Davis would be recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger would be elected governor.

Of 493 people statewide who say they are "certain" to vote, two-thirds say they will vote to recall Davis from office. And in the second question on the ballot, 51 percent say they will vote for Schwarzenegger, the actor turned candidate.

Wooooooooooooo Wooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... those numbers are only going to go one way - UP!!!

Send him some copies of Ann Coulter's books.

[demlosers]

Astalavista Davis.

[dufekin]

Yeah, her next book, "Californication"

[goldstategop]

No. "DeDavisfication."

[Terp]

And why the misleading headline. I don't find anything stunning about these poll results.

[Dane]

I agree that those numbers are phenomenal and Davis is probably changing his pants every 15 minutes or so, but there is a long way to go.

And I am sorry for the < i > in the title. It just seems like instinct to use those html brackets sometimes.

Red Hot Chilipeppers may have something to say about that.

The media has been telling us support for the recall was in the low 50s range. It turns out in the late 60s! I suspect the true numbers are even higher. They lied again.

[Diddle E. Squat]

What's wrong with < i >? I find it quite useful, would hate to see it recalled...

[Dane]

That's not my headline that is Channel 10's from San Diego.

[goldstategop]

Yes there is. I'd be very surprised if people change their minds about dumping Davis between now and Election Day. I don't think Arnold's support is that quite firm yet. We'll see.

"Recall: Poll Reveals Stunning Results"

What is stunning is that a San Diego news channel would find the poll results "stunning".

"Stunning" that anyone in their right mind recognizes the urgent need for a competent governor?

"Stunning" that some people remember the last election where Simon was the reason California ended up with Governor Low Beam?

Sad, though that McClintock supporters are not yet showing up in these polls or worse, don't have the courage to stand up for someone who could turn California around.

Polls Shows Schwarzenegger Ousts Other Recall Candidates

SAN DIEGO -- According to an exclusive 10News/Survey USA poll, if the election were held today, Gov. Gray Davis would be recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger would be elected governor.

Of 493 people statewide who say they are "certain" to vote, two-thirds say they will vote to recall Davis from office. And in the second question on the ballot, 51 percent say they will vote for Schwarzenegger, the actor turned candidate.

The next closest competitor is Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante. Only 17 percent say they will cast their vote for him in October. Peter Ueberroth, Bill Simon, Tom McClintock and Arriana Huffington are all in the single digits. Only three percent say they are undecided.

According to 10News, Schwarzenegger's support comes from everywhere. His numbers only dip below 50 percent among older voters, African-Americans and Democrats. But, even with the Democrats, he edges out Bustamante 38 percent to 31 percent.

Schwarzenegger also outpolls Bustamante almost 2:1 among Latino voters.

Another interesting result from the poll is that the percentage of registered voters who say they will certainly or probably will vote, is very high. Another statewide 10News/Survey USA poll will be taken in two weeks.

To the bozo who put all those keywords in. There was a request at the bottom of the SanDiegochannel.Com article not to.

BTW, anonymous keyword bozo, how about saying your complaints to my face.
