| Description | February 13, 2006--The golden state's movie-star governor has scrounged a narrow lead over State Comptroller Steve Westly (D). Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) is still neck and neck with State Treasurer Phil Angelides (D).
The latest Rasmussen Reports California election poll shows Schwarzenegger leading Westly 39% to 34% in his bid for reelection. The Governor trails Angelides 41% to 40%.
Since January, Schwarzenegger has lost one percentage point when matched with Angelides. This is the third straight poll showing the gap between Angelides and Schwarzenegger as smaller than the survey margin of sampling error.
But against Westly, the governor has been gaining ground. In December, Westly had a modest lead. In January, they were essentially even. Now, the Governor has a five point advantage.
The governor, once very popular, is now viewed unfavorably by 50% of the state's voters. Just 41% view him favorably.
While the governor is viewed unfavorably by many, his opponents remain largely unknown. Forty-four percent (44%) now report they are "not sure" of Angelides, while 57% are unsure what to think of Westly. |
