LOL!
Unless Slick Willie's around, that is!
The latter two polls are out-of-date (Public Opinion Strategies took its poll in mid-March, while the Probolsky poll was done on April 2-4). I hadn't heard about the CTA poll, and could find no mention of it when I did a search. Does anyone have a link, or know when it was conducted? Otherwise there is no way of judging its significance.
Probolsky & Associates; Apr 2-4 02; 825 RV; Simon 44%, Davis 38%, 53% view Gray-out unfavorably; Link 1
Field Poll; Apr 19-25 02; 546 Adults; Davis 44%, Simon 29%, 47% said they will not vote for Davis' re-election; Link 2
Unknown firm for labor union; Mar/Apr 02; Simon 41%, Davis 37%; Link 3
Public Opinion Strategies for Simon Camp; Mar 6-10 02; 800 LV; Simon 48%, Davis 41%; Davis with 50% disapproval rating; Simon led among women 46-43% Link 4
Field Poll; late Feb 02; Simon 44%, Davis 42%; Link 5
No matter how you slice it, the very well-funded Davis has miserable re-elect numbers for an incumbent.

And the CA Teachers Association poll is Link 3.
Who's vote would they have been afraid of losing by responding to that media question by saying 'Not only no, but HELL no.'...?
Anyway, the media has been doing their job of protecting Gray Davis on signing those bills. It received almost no media attention whatsoever. They can't hide it forever, because the study will be concluded in just a month or so. No doubt in my mind as to what the result will be.
True. They'll never vote for SImon, but they very well could stay home.
Go Simon!
Go Simon!

Can't say the same for anybody residing therein, however.
Don't forget about the newsroom, though! At most papers, the editorial board and news room are completely segregated and have no influence upon one another. You could conceivably have a very conservative editorial board, but a bunch of liberally-slanted reporters. In fact, this is the exact situation that exists at the Wall Street Journal.
BTW, isn't this sort of thing happening in NYC, with the newly revived New York Sun? My understanding was that this was supposed to be a conservative competitor of the New York Times. Anyone know the status of this?
I personally know more than a few registered Democrats who either plan to vote for Simon or plan on not voting at all. There are many in Davis' nominal constituency that find him just as detestable as you or I; he is not very popular among the proles. As long as Simon doesn't screw up big time, I think he'll make it.
That's nice to hear. I was hoping Simon bring that issue up and take advantage of it. Davis is so incrediby stupid! Maybe, after he loses the election, he can go to work for Jesse Jerkson's Rainbow Push organization/shakedown-mill. He would fit right in with the rest of those scam artists.
Is Davis going to takover the NINE failing schools, or are they the source of the relaxed threat?
Mustn't take things out of context-- the Simon people were probably laughing at another round of Davis' limelighting antics, and wouldn't dignify it with another response.
