Effect of Simon and Ueberroth dropping out (total 13%) shows MadClintock did not climb to around 17% but dropped instead to current 14% after having several debates without dominating presence of Schwarzenegger.

Instead of Seabiscuit, MadClintock runs a horse race like Mr. Ed evidently.

Thanks for the numbers, looking good!

...and will look even better for Arnold after Wednesday ;-)

EXACTLY. I am a political consultant. I am told internal Arnold AND Cruz polls show McClintock polling around 10-11%. And our poll of self-named, likely voting "Conservatives" show that McClintock has LOST 4 POINTS among this group because of the Indian Mafia Scandal. Tom has peaked and is sinking fast. But because all internal polls show Arnold and Cruz NECK AND NECK, McClintock can only be a spoiler.

Truly a sad state of affairs for the GOP if Tom stays in this thing. Otherwise pools show Arnold wins by 10-16 pts (the higher figure anticipating a large undecided swing to Arnold once he is the sole GOP candidate).
