CA-Sen Poll Watch: Carly Fiorina 47% Vs Barbara Boxer 45%

July 12, 2010 /

Republican Nominee Carly Fiorina and California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer

The latest Survey USA poll has Republican Carly Fiorina beating incumbent Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer by a couple of points but the lead is within the margin of error – which means they are essentially in a dead heat.

In the race for U.S. Senator from California, Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer and Republican Carly Fiorina are effectively even, the poll found.

Fiorina got 47% voter support compared to Boxer’s 45%, which is within the poll’s four percentage point margin of error.

The poll found twice as many Democrats cross-over to vote Republican as Republicans who cross-over to vote Democrat in the senate race.

Fiorina has an ever-so-slight advantage in the Greater Los Angeles area and in the Central Valley. She also carries the Inland Empire by a 2-1 margin, while Boxer carries the Bay Area by 2-1, the poll data showed.

Note the areas of California where Fiorina is strong are also areas of the highest unemployment. If these voters remain unemployed and angry, they WILL turn out in November and vote Senator Boxer out of office.

I wouldn’t say bet the ranch on Boxer losing, but I do not see any scenario where she damages Fiorina enough to beat her.

    It would be wonderful to see Boxer in the unemployment line. She has been an embarrassment to both the Senate and the Democratic party.

    As a 50 year Californian, I ‘m voting for Senator Boxer. She has worked tirelessly in getting the right things done for the people of California and America. She has earned my respect and deserves re-election. Better an experienced, capable, knowledgeable and highly effective fighter than a failed CEO with zero experience in politics. Boxer is pro-choice, Fiorina is for repealing Roe vs. Wade. Fiorina is for allowing “No Fly” list suspects acquire guns. This transcript from her debate with Tom Campell.
    Question: Should people on the no-fly watch list be allowed to purchase a gun?
    Tom Campbell: Ah, NO!
    Chuck DeVore: Yes, if they have not been convicted of a felony
    Carly Fiorina: Yes
    Campbell: Oh my goodness
    Fiorina: That is why Tom Campbell has a poor rating from the National Rifle Association
    Campbell: I can’t believe what I am hearing. Wait until they’ re off the no-fly list then exercise your second amendment rights.
    Fiorina: The no-fly list is way too large. You are seeing an issue where Tom Campbell is way too close to Barbara Boxer for my taste.

    I’ve known Senator Barbara Boxer for several years and have followed her politics and legislative achievements closely. She is well informed, respectful, committed, experienced and highly effective. Boxer is our best choice for Senator of California, and the best Senator for Americans. And, I’m a Republican!
