California Puzzle -- Poll Shows Simon Beating Davis

I remember in the last reporting period he had something like $4 million left. So now he has $11m? That should mean we have about $3 million a week, so he can spend about as much as Davis here on in, especially since with this news contributions will be way up.

The new polls make me think Simon ads are working well. I read one earlier poll that said Davis was at 48% and Simon at 33. So the new Simon ads have pushed Davis down to 33 and Simon up to 34.

That's not bad for a week or so of heavy advertising. That also shows how fragile Davis' support is - from 48% to 33% is some huge jump, even if we allow for statistical error and the like.

I guess we should now change the mix so there are more positive ads. And bring back the Maids! I just loved those funny ads; if they had a chance to run with any frequency, I think they'd blast Davis' dull creations right out of people's memory.

SIMON bump!!! DUMP DAVIS!

[Carry_Okie]

The only thing that is "puzzling" to the media is that the campaign they are waging agains Simon (magically not regarded as a gift in kind) isn't working better than it is. Perhaps their advertising time isn't worth what they say it is either!

[SevenofNine]

Hey ELK do you read Robert Novak this morning he said that ole Simon is smackdown Grey Out as b**** he is according to poll

I saw the poll from Sac-Town Bee site Bill making Grey his b****

Whether Davis tries for the Democratic nomination in 2004 will be determined by his re-election effort this year.

What an absurd statement. IF he wins, it will only be because he is seen as the lesser of two evils.

The Silicon Valley NRA Members' Council is organizing a phone-banking project for Simon for the next two weeks - please e-mail Mark Towber if you are in the San Jose/Santa Clara area and are interested in volunteering.

"Probably indicates a low turnout."

Disagree. It means that 30% of the voters are undecided two weeks before the freaking election (after subracting 2-3% for the Greenie)!

SIMON CAN WIN, and W has nothing to lose by coming out and supporting him one last time. If Doofus wins, he was "expected" to, and the margin will certainly be closer than Bush-Gore in 2002, so GOP is gaining headway regardless of outcome. If Simon wins, it reinforces W's already high popularity.

Where's the risk? Karl Rove, get him out there!

[Tony in Hawaii]

Agreed, and if Davis wins, it will only be by a very tiny margin. No dishonor in that.

Camejo the Green will probably get close to 10% of the vote this time around, which could possibly open up a permanent split in the liberal coalition.

Disagree with your disagreement. A 30% undecided two weeks out indicates that a LOT of folks will NEVER decide, and will thus not vote.

Yard signs are a interesting story in Eureka. The yards with "Rat signs do not have many Davis signs and those that do have very small ones. There are more Simon signs but not enough. Davis is here at 3:00PM hope I can get close.

I will not be surprised if the Greenes come in with 12-15 % of the vote which will help Simon.

Man am I glad FR is up and running.Any word what happened?

[Gophack]

My mom's old college roommate lives in Eureka because Grass Valley was too conservative for her. She's the one who told me I shouldn't move to Idaho because "that's were all the white supremists are". Please. Eureka will probably go TWENTY PERCENT for the greenie! (No offense ... I also have a pro-life Republican cousin who lives up there!)

We need to get Simon signs out. We blanketed our precinct with them as best we could and have like 15 up in the neighborhood. I think other people can do the same. Yard signs are more effective than road signs! Every Freeper should have a Simon sign in his/her/their yard AND convince two friends/neighbors to put a Simon sign up. Agree?

That's not bad for a week or so of heavy advertising. That also shows how fragile Davis' support is - from 48% to 33% is some huge jump, even if we allow for statistical error and the like.

Different polls, different criteria. The CTA poll is a track, and likely voters. The Field Poll and the L.A. Times polls are ALL voters or ALL ELIGIBLE voters, and they don't track for likely voters.

I think we're up or down one, and we have 15 days to solidify the vote, get OUR PEOPLE TO THE POLLS, and DUMP DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a poll taken on the Jesse's Hunting Page.

Poll choices	Votes	Statistics
Davis	2	[4.76%]
Simon	40	[95.24%]
Other	0	[0.00%]
Don't vote	0	[0.00%]
Varmint Al - You have already voted in this poll

Tells you where hunters stand in CA. I don't know what is wrong with the 2 misguided voters!

Eureka will probably go TWENTY PERCENT for the greenie!

That would be great as that would help our guy win the Assembly seat for the First District from liberal Patty Berg.

Something that concerns me is the fact the local 'Rat committee has become deeply involved in our city council and board of Supervisors races here. These races used to be non partisan.

BTW...I didn't make it to the Davis gig.
