California Polls
The results of today's Field Poll show Bustamante ahead of Schwarzenegger 25% to 22% and are a lot more interesting when we look at yesterday's poll. It shows that an increasing number of likely voters will vote to recall: July 51%, August 58%. If DAvis has any hope of staying in office he has to figure out how to get Democrats out to vote and also hope that they aren't among the 22% who voted for him that say they will vote to recall.
Unless a lot of folks drop out there is a high liklihood that the next govn'r of California will be elected by 25-30% of the voters.
The San Francisco Chronicle has some analysis of the poll results and somecandidate comments here.
