Bustamante can count on at least 30% to 35% of the vote because of the "D" next to his name. Bustamante is the only Democrat on the ballot and the Dems are famous for voting party line. They will all hold their noses and vote Bustamante.
Normally I'd agree with you, but that doesn't explain why Democrats supported the recall in the first place. They "held their nose" and voted for Davis, then supported his recall. Will they really do it all over again with Bustamante, or might they, just this once, go against the trend?

Butamante's poor showing could mean that Davis will be retained. Only problem with that red-rosy scenario is that Gray-Out needs 50%+1. Seeing he couldn't manage that last election, I rather doubt that he can this time out either.

It would depend on his views on certain programs...:)
Personally, I think he would receive the votes BECAUSE he is Charlie Manson. Name recognition and all, coupled with the (D) would gurantee a win out here in lala land. :(

I wonder how illegals can afford to live here.

But if new, soon-to-be-released polls also show McClintock closing in on the lead... The only thing McClintock is "closing in on" is delivering the governorship to Bustamante. He's doing a good job of that.
To: Dog Gone
Davis could get 90% of people to say he did the right thing if he cancelled the Drivers License stupidity, doesn't mean he has 90% of the people wanting him to stay in office...the numbers are not correlative.
To: FairOpinion
don't take RCP too seriously right now. they were talking about Bush having a 44 state landslide in 2000 and the GOP getting a 60 seat senate majority in 2002.
they usually switch to making realistic projections right before the election.

"Moreover close analysis of the LA push poll suggests there are still about 10 perecent of Democrat voters that think that if you vote No on the recall you can't vote on question 2. Despite attempts to educate them with the "No on Recall, yes on Bustamante" slogan, I bet a signifigant number will not bother to vote on question 2 at all."
One can only pray that this is true...it would increase the odds of change. I am also surviving down here in Eastern LA County...sure is hot today
To: Canticle_of_Deborah
While exact numbers were not released, those familiar with the survey described the results as having McClintock within the margin of error of being tied for first with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cruz Bustamanate.With all due respect, I think one has to question a poll that isn't willing to publish its numbers.

Insufficient data. Being perceived as the winner in a debate is not the same thing as being supported.
Witness Keyes in 2000 in the Republican Primary debates.... Supposedly he won going away but was an also ran in the primary election.......

Like I said... Whatever. It's too soon to tell anything so I'm not gonna try to come off as the all knowing "expert" like a gob of Freepers have been doing for the past month, demanding in thread after thread that either Arnold, or Tom should give up and capitulate prematurely!
What message do you think would resonate better than Tom's? I think his "American Graffiti" (where were you in '62) is SUPER STRONG!!! There is a powerful longing in CA for 1962!!!
I'm praying he stays in long enough to get that message to EVERY (polled) voter at least three times!!!

It was a private poll done by DC business interests.
To: AndyTheBear
Gore did poorly in all the debates.
Only in one did anyone say he did any good at all.
To this day the media jokes about how poorly he did.
He should have just skipped the debates.

Okay, I'll take your word for it. I'm just the messenger :-)
This is the only poll I've seen since the debates. It was a private poll done by DC interests.
To: Dan from Michigan
But this was the poll the Arnold guys have been
bragging about because USA gives Arnold his best numbers.
So for Arnold this is big blow for sure.
