Public Policy Polling CA Senate/Gov Preview: Better news for dems than expected

[book_worm]

Sounds like the folks at PPP might have better news than some recent polling on the Senate & Governor race in CA:

California Preview

We're going to have new California numbers out starting Monday and they're a lot more positive for Democrats than most of what we've seen from that state in the last couple of months.

There's a very simple reason for that: we're simply not seeing that either Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina has much support across party lines. Whitman gets 12% of Democrats and Fiorina gets 11%.

Republicans showed in Massachusetts that they could win a state that went as strongly for Obama as California. But there Scott Brown won 19% of the Democratic vote. Unless Fiorina and Whitman push closer to that level they're going to come up short.

We'll start on Monday with the Senate numbers.

1. Glad to read this

I've been a bit concerned about the Governor's race.

2. California has a tradition of punishing cashed-up wannabees who try to buy elections . . .

With their own money. Let's hope they keep it up.

CA voters are not so fastidious when pols buy elections using huge chunks of corporate (i.e., other people's) money, but you can't have everything.
