CA-Sen Poll Watch: Carly Fiorina Beats Barbara Boxer in Silicon Valley Poll
Republican Nominee Carly Fiorina and California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer
Carly Fiorina topped incumbent Barbara Boxer by a wide margin in a recently completed unscientific online survey by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.
The former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO was backed by about 69 percent of those who responded to the Business Pulse survey conducted between Oct. 12 and Oct. 19.
Boxer was backed by about 31 percent.
Reader Donald R. wrote: “Both Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown should quietly exit the political scene. They’ve had their day. Let’s move California on.”
There will be more polls over the next few days and I expect them to be all over the place. Some may show a few points outside the margin of errors for either candidate.
The fact remains Carly Fiorina is within striking distance and if she turns out her voters and a Republican wave materializes, she will win this race. I subscribe to what Garry South said the other day that if the Dems are not up by 7 or 8 points by election day they will be in trouble.
And, then, there is the GOTV, Ground Operations where the GOP has a decided advantage.
So, hold onto your hat the next 12 days – it will be a wild ride.
