Arnold ahead of Cruz?
It seems that the LA Times poll did not sway many people. Funny how two organizations in the SAME town can come up with opposite polling numbers? I think the mask is off the LA Times that has been acting like the Dems pimp/whore.
An exclusive Eyewitness News poll conducted by Survey USA, shows Arnold Schwarzenegger has a wide lead again, with support of 45-percent of registered voters. Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante has 29-percent. Our exclusive survey could come as a surprise to some. It only counts registered voters who say they will cast a ballot October 7. The poll is based on 591 California residents who say they are certain to vote Oct. 7. Though the Republican vote is splintered Arnold Schwarzenegger would win office today even though Cruz Bustamante is winning endorsements.

The numbers are reversing since August 11th survey. Tom McClintock and Peter Uberroth top the rest of the field and the survey could give Governor Gray Davis some concern. If the recall election were today, he would be ousted by 64-percent of the vote with only a 35-percent vote of confidence. ABCNews Political Director Mark Halperin is not surprised our poll differs from others. He believes no one has a lock on the race yet. Halperin says, "There has been different polling showing Arnold Schwarzenegger up and down. Itâs hard to know where he stands. We know Arnold Schwarzenegger has a nice base of support and Cruz Bustamante has a nice base of support. The question is where will the undecided voter end up on Election Day." Survey USAâs Director of Election Polling says what makes this race different is there are brand new voters â energized by this unique race. He thinks the turnout will be higher than the 54-percent voting in the governorâs race last year.
| I'm not too sure about that... |
Just who will go to the polls in six weeks is hard to predict because they expect a lot of people who didnât vote for Governor last year. The poll will not be conducted over the Labor Day weekend â our next survey is in two weeks when the election is one month away. The field of candidates and campaign issues could be different.
Since the Dems were slobbering over the LA Times poll, they will probably discount poll data now that this does not favor them
