A month and a half ago the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) released a poll on the US Senate Republican Primary that showed Carly Fiorina leading the race with 24%, Tom Campbell with 23% and Chuck DeVore with only 8%. The rest of the respondents were undecided on their choice as to who would be the GOP nominee. The Fiorina campaign used this opportunity to try to urge DeVore to step out of the race, suggesting he had no shot and he would only be a spoiler for Tom Campbell. However, today’s poll released has Fiorina with 25%, Campbell still at 23% and DeVore doubling his support to 16%. Basically of the 9% of voters that have decided on a candidate 8% of them have decided to go with DeVore. 36% of voters remain undecided, indicating it is still anybody’s race.
That same poll released in March had Poizner trailing by 50 points to Whitman. The new poll has him down only 9%. This of course was due to his massive media blitz over the last two months. The poll also indicates that 31% of likely primary voters remain undecided in the Gubernatorial race.
With a little over 3 weeks left in California’s primary season everything remains up in the air, but the two candidates who appear to have the wind at their backs are DeVore and Poizner. Stay tuned…
