PPP--CA Governor: Brown (D) 53% Nutmeg (R) 42%

Jerry Brown's pulling away in his quest to return to the California Governor's office and now leads Meg Whitman 53-42.

Given how many tens of millions of dollars Whitman spent on defining herself to the voters, it's somewhat remarkable how few of them she could get to like her. 55% see her unfavorably to only 36% with a positive opinion. Brown, on the other hand, has had voters warm up to him somewhat over the course of the campaign. His favorability ratio is 48/44, compared to 37/39 when PPP first took a look at the race back in May. His positives have increased by 11 points while his negatives have only gone up by 5.

Whitman has a 14 point lead with independents. But Brown has 86% of the Democratic vote locked up while Whitman is getting only 80% of Republicans. She would have needed more crossover support than that to win this race. Democrats are looking very solid at the top of the ticket in California.

Thank you California for not letting her buy this seat.

this last week and end up 20 points behind :-).

Cuz unless she rescues 25 kitties out of a well in Sac, this election isn't even going to be close.

and Barbara Boxer :-).

Finally California is going to have real leadership and not a friggin' action star as Governor. And Sen. Boxer will continue to guide the nation on important environmental issues.

:hi:

things up only to have a Democrat come clean it up. :hi:

attack ads rather than telling the voters much about herself. Sure she's for lower taxes (capital gains, of course)and "cracking down" on people who hire illegal immigrants. Of course hiring one (that we know of) herself hasn't helped her credibility on that issue much.

But the big problem with that strategy is that Californians already know Jerry Brown and are perfectly capable of forming opinions about him on their own. We don't need Meg Whitman to tell us what to think about him. We need Meg Whitman to tell us what to think about her, and in that area she's failed miserably.

Thank goodness.

Do they have another 10 million to waste?

No more NutMeg commercials. No more phone calls from taped messages telling me how NutMeg is best for Ca. And last but not least voting YES on Prop 19. Toke up everyone! Not too much was brought up on how NutMeg didn't vote for 28 years either. I guess Jerry didn't need it. LOL!

Everything looks good with the exception of Prop 19; but I'm hoping that young people were underrepresented here.

I kept waiting for it and finally heard it on a radio ad today (on Randi Rhodes no less). Pure desperation on her part. The L.A. Times is reporting today that women just ain't buying her or Fiorina's "We have vaginas, too!" act.

Can't wait 'til she gets her ass kicked next week and her ugly mug finally gets off my teevee screen!

Poor, poor Megster...
