Hillary Rodham Clinton holds a commanding lead over Barack Obama in California as the Democratic presidential contest heads toward the Feb. 5 primary, a new statewide poll has found. John McCain's resurgent campaign claimed a slim lead among Republicans, with a trio of candidates competing to challenge him.
The L.A. Times/CNN/Politico poll, conducted by Opinion Research Corp., showed that the race remains extremely fluid, even as voters in the state are casting mail-in ballots. Six in 10 Republican primary voters said they might change candidates in the next three weeks. Among Democrats, four in 10 said they could still change their minds.

The Republican race is far more uncertain. Among likely voters, Arizona Sen. McCain was ahead with 20%. Mitt Romney was at 16%, Rudolph W. Giuliani at 14% and Mike Huckabee at 13%. All four were within the poll's margin of sampling error. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas had 8%, and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson was at 6%. Rep. Duncan Hunter of Alpine did not register on the poll.
Overall, Republicans judged McCain to be the GOP candidate best positioned to defeat the eventual Democratic nominee, and -- by a broad margin -- listed him as the candidate most possessing honesty and integrity.

Sampling seems decent.
As soon as I’m done stealing my water from Arizona, I’ll vote for Romney.
So, out of curiosity, If Thompson gets the nomination will McCain throw his support to the Senator from Tennessee?
Arbeitpartei come to mind, anyone???
I guess Hollywood type don’t hold much sway, especialy conservative ones,, Fred at 6%? there’s a surveyusa poll out too, where he polls at 9% or so, I think.
not surprisingly, moderates poll well..
you would think with so many “smart folks” here, that would not be the case.. oh well.
I have seen some pretty scary things in my life, but, That is one scary picture!
"if the U.S. were a machine and you shook it, all the loose nuts and bolts would tend toward kalifornia."
Well it’s as far west as they can go...and it gets cold and wet if they go North...
I cannot believe that our state would choose to nominate the amnesty king given our problem with illegals, can you? What is wrong with people?
California’s just never been asked to pick a president...at least not in recent times...people don’t know what to say. BTW, do we even get to vote here, or have we been officially ceded to Mexico?
Would that include Duncan Hunter?
cold and wet (and rusty) if they go north, cold and wet (and rusty) if they encounter salt water. win/win either way for the nuts, oh! and the bolts too. or is it win/win for us? :)
duncan hunter, in my mind, is the farthest thing from a nut.
February 5th. We vote. There are only Mitt signs on the corners in my town and I didn’t even put them up!
Me too. That’s why the joke’s not funny. :)
If you look closely you can actually see makeup on her. Now imagine her without the paint and bondo..... eeeeewe.
On RCP, McCain now leads Rudy in Cali.
I guess the Rudy decline is real??! This is really astonishing to me. Maybe Feb. 5 is going to turn into being all McCain??!
