Schwarzenegger: Field Poll Trouble

June 29, 2005 /

California Field Poll Numbers are out for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, SHARP DIMINISHMENT IN VOTER INCLINATION TO RE-ELECT SCHWARZENEGGER:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s once dominant position to win re-election next year hasdiminished sharply over the past four months. Last February 56% of this state’s registered voters said they were inclined to vote for Schwarzenegger for Governor in 2006 should he decide to seek re-election. However, in a just completed Field Poll survey, there has been a complete turn-around in voter dispositions, with 57% now disinclined to support him.

Flap’s advice to the Governor:

  • Stop negotiatong with Democrat Legislature Leaders – they are stringing you along and having their Union buddies pick you apart with their negative television ads.
  • Don’t be Squishy!
  • Stay the Course on the State Budget and Blame the Legislature for any Impasse. Use your Blue Veto Pencil sooner rather than later.
  • Endorse the Paycheck Protection Initiative and campaign for YOUR Reform initiatives – make the case to the voters of California.
