CA-Sen: Carly Fiorina Opens Up 5 Point Lead on Senator Barbara Boxer
Republican Nominee Carly Fiorina and California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer
California Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has increased her lead over Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer to five percentage points according to a new CBS 5 KPIX-TV poll released Thursday, which also shows gubernatorial candidates Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman in a dead heat.
The CBS 5 poll, conducted by the research firm SurveyUSA, showed Fiorina edging Boxer 47 percent to 42 percent, compared to a CBS 5 poll one month ago showing Fiorina over Boxer 47 to 45 percent.
The poll results indicated Fiorina’s support was essentially unchanged among men and women, young and old, white and Hispanic while Boxer had lost small ground among men, younger voters, and independents.
The poll also showed Fiorina tripling her lead in the Central Valley, from seven points one month ago to 21 points in this latest poll.
The Survey USA poll release in PDF format is here.
No other polling organization has shown such a lead for Republican candidate Carly Fiorina but her campaign has to be encouraged. Here is the Pollster.com summary graphic of all of the polls
It is a long way to November but it is better to be ahead than behind at this point – no matter what the poll.

Now it seems that our beloved AG, Jerry Brown is a “double-dipper” and a hypocrite at the very least:

Ah Carly Fiorina, that brings back memories of my days at HP. As expected none of them are good. Youd’ think the Republicans coudl have found someone better to run then the poster child for outsourcing American labour for the IT sector.

Yeah, Yeah!
And, how many jobs did Barbara Boxer send overseas with her failure as a Senator?
Boxer is a disaster and deserves to be replaced.
