California political junkies are buzzing<\/a> about the new Rasmussen poll which shows former Governor and current Attorney General Jerry Brown handily leading<\/a><\/strong> all the major Republican gubernatorial contenders (Meg Whitman<\/strong>, Steve Poizner<\/strong> and Tom Campbell<\/strong>) while Brown's rival for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination trailing<\/a> the same three possible Republicans. Here's the data<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Brown (D) 44%, Whitman (R) 35%
Brown (D) 45%, Poizner (R) 32%
Brown (D) 44%, Campbell (R) 34%
Whitman (R) 41%, Newsom (D) 36%
Poizner (R) 40%, Newsom (D) 36%<\/strong>
Campbell (R) 42%, Newsom (D) 36%<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is definitely NOT very good news for the Governor Gavin movement. That's too bad, because MadProfesah<\/strong> has been leaning towards Newsom, especially since Gerry Brown hasn't announced whether he wants the job (again) yet, and acting as attorney general, Brown was responsible for the devastatingly incompetent presentation by an Assistant Attorney General during the Proposition 8 California Supreme Court oral argument.<\/p>\n

\nUPDATE by Dave<\/strong>: I would say that this poll is fairly meaningless. I’m guessing Rasmussen pushed leaners hard to get any kind of opinion. I don’t think anyone has really engaged on this race, and anyone thinking it will remain static isn’t being honest. This is more of a reflection of name ID, for good and ill, than anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
