The Democratic rally continues – after a series of polls this week showing Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown with leads, the LA Times\/USC poll<\/a> (conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner) shows a sizable lead for Boxer, and a narrow lead for Brown. Note that these numbers are for likely voters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Governor
\n
Jerry Brown: 49
\n
Meg Whitman: 44<\/p>\n

US Senate
\n
Barbara Boxer: 51
\n
Carly Fiorina: 43<\/p>\n

The crosstabs are interesting, as usual. Whitman has a minus 11 favorable rating, whereas Brown only has a minus 1 rating. Boxer has a +4 favorable rating, compared to a minus 5 rating for Fiorina.<\/p>\n

The poll shows both Brown and Boxer with small leads among white voters, and much larger leads among Latino voters.<\/p>\n

Significantly, the poll also shows that by a fairly wide margin, voters believe Meg Whitman would be better on the economy and is better on “has new ideas to help California.” And yet that isn’t overcoming the negative perception voters now have of Meg Whitman, as her massive TV ad barrage, her lack of a voting record, and her massive wealth are turning voters against her in droves.<\/p>\n

We need to keep in mind that there are still five weeks left to Election Day – and anything can happen until then, especially in races as close as these. Still, this should give hope and inspiration to progressive Californians that our future might not be in the hands of right-wing billionaires after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
