LOS ANGELES - With the election days away, Democratic Gov. Gray Davis maintains a seven-point lead over Republican challenger Bill Simon, according to a poll released Friday by the nonpartisan Field Institute of San Francisco.
Davis received support from 41 percent of likely voters in the poll, while Simon's support stood at 34 percent. The margin was unchanged from the last Field Poll, released in early September, and from the poll before that in July.

SACRAMENTO — Businessman Bill Simon and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan crisscrossed California trading attacks Wednesday as a new poll showed Simon the front-runner in a race once considered Riordan's to lose.With the GOP gubernatorial primary five days away, a poll released Wednesday by San Francisco's Field Institute showed the conservative Simon with support from 37 percent of likely voters, the moderate Riordan with 31 percent and Secretary of State Bill Jones with 9 percent.
In the last Field poll, released Jan. 29, Riordan enjoyed a 33-point lead over Simon. The poll has a margin of error for likely GOP voters of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
About 23 percent of the likely Republican voters surveyed had not decided who they will vote for Tuesday. And now, a race that was once Riordan's to lose is "a toss-up now between Simon and Riordan," said Sacramento political science professor Tim Hodson...

Simon Caps Surge With California Primary Win"Bottom line" for the much vaunted "Field poll" -NewsMax.com WiresLOS ANGELES -- Bill Simon completed a late surge that began with him trailing by more than 30 points in some polls and ended Tuesday night when he was declared the Republican nominee for governor of California.
Wednesday, March 6, 2002The 50-year-old investment company executive and son of former Treasury Secretary William Simon never trailed as the ballots came in. He had 49 percent of the vote with 77.6 percent of the votes counted.
Former Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan, the early favorite in the race, trailed with 30.5 percent, while California Secretary of State Bill Jones, the only Republican to hold a major statewide office, was running third with 18.2 percent of the vote.

They REPORTED on Friday (3/1/02) - just BEFORE the primary:Bill Simon went from:Simon = 37...but what HAPPENED on Wednesday (3/6/02) - just AFTER the primary:
Riordan = 31
undecided = 23Simon = 49
Riordan = 31
37 (in the last pre-election Field poll "prediction") toWhy does ANYONE believe these bozos?
49 (in the actual election "results") over the weekend of the PRIMARY......a TWELVE POINT swing!
About 23 percent of the likely Republican voters surveyed had not decided who they will vote for Tuesday.And talk about BIAS, why is it that when a LIBERAL RINO like Riordan is down by six points in the last Field poll before the PRIMARY - with twenty-three percent "undecided" - the Associated Press quotes a guy who calls the race a "toss-up," but when a CONSERVATIVE like Bill Simon is down by seven in the SAME "last Field poll before the election" - with twenty-five percent "undecided" or third party - they report:And now, a race that was once Riordan's to lose is "a toss-up now between Simon and Riordan," said Sacramento political science professor Tim Hodson... - as reported by the Associated Press
To have 25 percent of California voters undecided or choosing a third-party candidate this close to an election is extraordinary, said Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo.I trust what I have seen on the Internet, what I have heard on talk radio, and what I have experienced IN THE STREETS...``That's astounding,'' DiCamillo said. ``It's a total rejection of both the major party candidates.''
