Wow. Could he actually be vulnerable? That was pretty unexpected to me. What caused this?

Up until this year, he'd never gotten any negative news about him in the mainstream media, and no one had ever spent money on ads attacking him. Suddenly, the honeymoon is over. Most of the media is still very biased in favor of him, but it's no longer unanmious.

Yes, jfern is quite correct.

The 'honeymoon' phase that quickly set in after the demise of Davis is over.

I have a minor issue with this poll.  The January poll they compare to was conducted for the same consulting firm, but the poll then was conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California / James Irvine Foundation while the latest was done by Survey and Policy Research Institute at San Jose State University

Also, the sample in January was 2002 adults.  The new one is 1,030.

I don't doubt that his popularity has fallen, but I will wait for the Field Poll before I start preparing for a close campaign.

He'll still win, mainly because no Democratic challenger can truly tap the power of discontent.

Also Marx, the Peace and Freedom Party nominee will not win the election no matter how bad Arnold's doing in office. Cheesy

That is mainly because of party oligopoly and cartel collusion.

A suspiciously rapid drop.  Wait and see, eh?
