Only 39% in poll would vote for governor again

The same California voters who gave Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger rave reviews in his victory in the unprecedented 2003 recall election aren't interested in a 2006 sequel by the actor-turned-politician, according to a Field Poll released today.

In a startling reversal of public opinion, 57 percent of the state's registered voters would not support Schwarzenegger's re-election next year, up from 42 percent in a February poll. Those who would vote to return him to Sacramento tumbled from 56 percent to 39 percent.

The governor, who has yet to announce a candidacy that has been taken as a given since his first day in office, finds himself running slightly behind two Democratic challengers, state Treasurer Phil Angelides and state Controller Steve Westly, in head-to-head matchups.

"There's a broad-ranging discontent among voters, with people turning away from the governor,'' said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll.
