Field poll: Schwarzenegger leads Angelides 49-33

[Raoul Takemoto]

Herr Gropinator wins, unfortunately.  And he's raked in millions of private campaign contributions - while saying he was accountable only to the people. What a fraud.  Chargers owner/developer Alex Spanos has contributed 2.5 million, according to today's Stockton Record.

McClintock might pull this out if Schwarzenegger has coattails. 

Sec. of State is very close, as is Controller.  I agree, there are a startling number of undecideds for controller.

It looks like Jerry Brown has the Atty. General's race wrapped up; Poochigian is too much of an unknown statewide (although Ben Stein has a humorous radio commercial for him). Poochigian's ads, while slamming Brown on the death penalty, hasn't done enough. 

Treasurer - Lockyer has this in the bag. 

Ins. Commissioner - CA voters are tired of Bustamonte.

The bottom line: Will Schwarzenegger's coattails pull all of the major statewide races except Atty. General and Treasurer to the GOP?  If so, it will be a ray of sunshine for the GOP in what may be a pretty dreary election day overall.

My progressive-leaning wife just told me she's supporting McClintock.  Methinks he rides in on Arnold's coattails.

I too, voted for Westly in the primary. Angelides has been an awful candidate, and will hurt Dems statewide (I live in CA-11, so the thought of another Pombo victory is numbing!)
