    Poll Watch: California Governor 2010 – Rough Year for the GOP?

    October 8, 2009 /

    Looks like a rough year for the California Republican Party to hold the Governorship now held by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger – no matter who wins the GOP nomination next June.

    All Registered Voters:

    2010 Governor: General Election (all match-ups)

    • Brown 50%, Whitman 29%
    • Brown 48%, Campbell 27%
    • Brown 50%, Poizner 25%
    • Whitman 31%, Newsom 40%
    • Newsom 38%, Campbell 33%
    • Newsom 39%, Poizner 30%

    Meg Whitman looked at one time as a very viable candidate but her lack of candor about her voting record has damaged her credibility. It will be difficult for her to crawl back into the race.

    California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has the ability to self-fund a big media campaign but has failed to catch-on voterwise. He may be the front-runner at the present time – despite the current polling because of his potential.

    Former Congressman Tom Campbell is a moderte Republican but charismatically he is no Pete Wilson and will not motivate the GOP base of donors.

    The REAL race may be between “Any Two-some” Newsom and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown.
