In CA, Democrats Cling to Ever-So-Slight Advantages In Governor, Senator, Lt Gov Contests;
SurveyUSA ^ | 10/5/10 | SurveyUSA

Posted on 10/05/2010 7:01:11 AM PDT by Lou Budvis

In statewide elections in California today 10/04/10, as early voting begins, 3 high-profile contests are fiercely fought, separated by 5 or fewer points, according to this latest exclusive SurveyUSA polling for KABC-TV Los Angeles, KPIX-TV San Francisco, KGTV-TV San Diego, and KFSN-TV Fresno.

In the race for US Senator, incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer clings today to a narrow 46% to 43% advantage. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released 12 days ago, Boxer is down 3 points; Republican Carly Fiorina is flat. Seniors are moving toward Boxer; voters under age 50 are giving Fiorina another look.

In the race for the open Governor's seat, Democrat Jerry Brown clings today to a narrow 47% to 43% advantage. Brown is up a nominal point since the previous poll; Republican Meg Whitman is flat.

In think part of Meg's problem is her opposition to Prop 23. Fiorina still has a chance.

Except for getting rid of Boxer, I could care less about California. If they want to elect crooks and idiots, let them. They’ll get what they deserve.

The Democrat Party will have a future dilema. If they get rid of the elderly, the most-costly drain on ObamaCare, they’ll be burying a lot of their voters. Of course, being Democrats, they can still vote in most places.

A California bailout only happens with a RAT infested House.

“If CA votes for socialists I hope they get what they deserve,complete and total collapse.”

Actually, I agree with you, and I live in CA. However, the fact that the democRATS are going after Meg Whitman with everything they’ve got makes me like her even more. I think she will win. Boxer is scared, too, and is a pit bull in her attacks against Fiorina. I am pleased that the dems are scared.

We’ll see . . . .

The elderly are the most anti Democrat vote, of all age groups though.

I just checked the 2004 election specifically for California and it seems that the boomers are just a little more anti democrat than the elderly, but it is not by a lot, but the reality is that all age groups here vote Democrat.

The only large demographic group that is conservative, and they are overwhelmingly so, is the group called Protestant.
