If only 30% of conservatives are for McC -- does that mean that the other 70% are Arnold's base?

. . . does that mean that the other 70% are Arnold's base?

It likely means many things. It's likely a mix of a relatively small base (maybe 30 percent) with a much larger contingent of softer support (bandwagon effect). However, you suggested earlier that it means 70 percent of California conservatives do not like McClintock. Haven't you overstated your case? Or do you know about a poll the rest of us don't?
