From the poll:

“Following the positive messaging, the FM3 Research poll showed [Democrat] Applegate at 19%, trailed at 18% by Republicans Chavez and Diane Harkey at 18%, with Democrat Mike Levin polling at 16%. Republican Kristin Gaspar came in with 9%, followed by Democrats Sara Jacobs 7%, Paul Kerr 3%, and Christina Prejean 1%. Ten percent of respondents replied with undecided/don’t know.

Following the negative messaging, the poll showed Republicans Chavez and Harkey with a tie at 18%, followed by Democrats Applegate 17% and Levin 13%. Gaspar and Jacobs both polled at 8%, with Kerr at 2% and Prejean at 1%. Seventeen percent of respondents replied with undecided/don’t know.”

Given California’s (retarded and unconstitutional) blanket-primary system in which the top-two finishers regardless of party go on to the general election, only two Republicans should be running, lest Republican voters split the vote and allow one or two Democrats to slip into the general. Seems to me that Republican Kristin Gaspar should drop out of the race so that her 8%-9% can be divided between fellow Republicans Rocky Chavez and Diane Harkey (both of whom are polling ariund 18%) so as to increase the odds of an all-Republican general election. The question is, will Kristin Gaspar be willing to take one for the team?
