An Ipsos/Reuters poll out this morning shows Jerry Brown leading Meg Whitman 45-39 in the Governor’s race and Barbara Boxer leading Carly Fiorina 45-41. http://www.ipsos-na.com/news-p…

Obviously, these races are going to be hard fought and there is a lot of work to do. Brown’s lead is very good news, seeing as Whitman has saturated the airwaves for months and Brown hasn’t had a presence at all. Boxer’s lead is narrower, but as the campaign goes on, Fiorina’s tenure at HP will be one of the main focuses and that will give Boxer more of an edge. Brown and Boxer haven’t hit the airwaves (at least I haven’t seen any ads), so they still have a lot of room to get their numbers up.
