New California Poll Results: Whitman Gaining, Campbell Leads GOP Senate Rivals
Results from the new Capitol Weekly/Probolsky Research California Poll were released today. When matched head-to-head against Steve Poizner, Meg Whitman maintains a strong lead in the Republican Primary Election race for Governor, capturing 47.4% of the vote. While this represents a significant increase since the last Capitol Weekly/Probolsky Research California Poll (October, 2009), it is less than the 63% reflected in a March, 2010 poll conducted by Field Poll.
“Whitman continues to maintain a decisive that will be hard to overcome,” said poll director Adam Probolsky. Ben Tulchin, a Democratic pollster who consulted on the survey said, “After spending more than $60 million on her campaign to date, Meg Whitman is now under 50% and her support has dropped from previous public polls. Overall, this is good news for Jerry Brown and Democrats.”
Tom Campbell leads the race in the Republican Primary Election for U.S. Senate.
Probolsky remarked, “Fiorina has plenty of money, but she is not spending enough of it to make her case with the voters.” “If Carly Fiorina does not make a move soon, Tom Campbell will likely be the Republican nominee facing off against Senator Barbara Boxer,” added Tulchin. “I am sure the Boxer campaign is holding out hope that Fiorina goes on the attack and turns this primary into a bloody battle that will benefit the incumbent.”
