California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina's prospects appear to be fading, with a slew of new polls showing her several points behind Sen. Barbara Boxer.
The latest, California's respected nonpartisan Field Poll, was released Thursday night and showed Boxer with an 8-percentage-point lead among likely voters. The incumbent had 49 percent of the vote to the challenger's 41 percent.
That result comes after a Suffolk University poll released earlier in the week gave Boxer a 10-point lead, a CNN/Time poll put her ahead by 5 points and a Los Angeles Times survey had her leading by 8. Two automated surveys, by Rasmussen Reports and Public Policy Polling, also saw Boxer in the lead.
Fiorina's campaign has worked hard to create an impression of momentum favoring the 56-year-old former Hewlett-Packard CEO, but the polls suggest a trend in the opposite direction, and early voting means it is too late for either candidate to change many voters' minds.

So much material, so little time.
She has failed miserably at pretty much everything.. Perhaps she should consider having success at one job or campaign, no matter how small, before becoming the leader of the free world.. My brother hasn’t succeeded at anything in the last 15 years either, perhaps he is presidential material as well.
I am not really a fan of Fiorina, but it amazes me that freepers are willing to go to left wing sites and to author David Korn to trash someone.
Have you ever worked at a fortune 500 company? How do you know she failed, some left wing hack told you she did?
Fiorina sings the praises of Islam, Ottoman Empire ‘greatest civilization’
You don’t believe she failed as CEO of HP?
I don’t like Carly at all, but in today’s California, Ronald Reagan himself would have zero chance of winning a statewide election.
It’s swung from 57/41R in 1984 to 61/37D in 2008 and 2012.
Yea, she happened to be running though when Republicans had a tidal wave of support and picked up an amazing six senate seats. Her election was also not too long after Scott Brown won Mass. in the special election.
Fiorina was CEO of HP from 1999 to 2005. This included the tech bust of 2000. Overall I think HP did well during this period, especially compared against Texas Instruments.
Speaking of flashbacks, no one wants to talk about Fiorina’s mention of the child she lost to drug use? Note she didn’t shed a single tear during that sympathy play.
If your child uses drugs a few times to rebel or experiment or fit in, that is one thing. If your child kills themselves with drugs that is your failure as a parent.
I’ll tell you exactly what happened: Fiorina put her career first, family second. Her child never received a mother’s love, and thus replaced it with drug use. Fiorina’s response was ‘tough-love’ (read: CONDITIONAL love) which just made the situation worse. Now Fiorina wants to blame the drugs, not herself; she has to think she’s a good person after all, look at how successful her career is! Except her kid killed herself...so she failed her kid.
Anyway, it was her stepdaughter. So there wasn’t a direct bond in the first place. But she still had an obligation to be a real mother to her.
wow.. I think she is really big loser at everything when you look at her record in any detail, but I would never say that a child’s death from a drug overdose should be blamed on the parent.
Though, you may be right about her putting her career ahead of her family. I have no idea on that.
If Carly Fiorina is the tremendous success that she tells everyone she is from her being CEO at Lucent and HP, why hasn’t any of the big corporations been running to her door to hire her? From what a Yale professor stated on CNN, Carly hasn’t had a job in 10 years, since she was fired by HP. Just a little food for thought.
Fiorina really started to slide when Gloria Allred totally blunted the actual GOP momentum (which would be very fragile to begin with in a state like California...nevertheless, it was in fact there) with her press conference which severely damaged the GOP gubernatorial nominee. Prior to that, both Fiorina and that lady running for governor had modest leads in both races. Then it was over.
I don’t care for Fiorina. I was being snarky. Ian in the Trump camp.
