DescriptionSACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Gray Davis' prospects for keeping his job appear to be brightening, according to a new poll that shows growing opposition to the recall movement.

The Public Policy Institute of California survey, released Sunday, showed 53 percent of voters supporting a recall, down 5 percentage points from the institute's previous poll taken in August.

That was good news for Davis, analysts agreed. But they were uncertain whether the governor could continue to close the gap enough between now and Oct. 7, the recall election's scheduled date.

"The fate of the recall is much more uncertain than it was a month ago," said Mark Baldassare, poll director for the Public Policy Institute. "But it is still going to be difficult for the governor to make the case given that three out of four voters still disapprove of the job he's doing."
