California voters are giving U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer some of the lowest approval ratings of her career, as the three-term Democrat is in a statistical dead heat against first-time GOP office-seeker Carly Fiorina, according to a new Field Poll released today.

Boxer leads Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, 47 to 44 percent, according to Field’s survey of 1,390 registered voters, 1,005 of whom were considered likely to vote in November. The poll, conducted June 22-July 5, has a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points among likely voters. For Boxer’s job performance ratings among registered voters, the margin of error is 2.8 percentage points.

Here is a graphic that describes aptly how vulnerable the incumbent Senator is:

This U.S. Senate race is just beginning but Senator Boxer’s approval ratings are in the toilet. Will Boxer be able to persuade California voters that she has been doing a good job?

Doubtful
