The California primary race is coming down to the wire, and all around the country, people are looking at the candidates, trying to determine which candidate they will support.
On the issues that matter to California, it's crucial to see where the candidates stand. With that in mind, we've created this handy chart below for your convenience. You can download and print the chart here.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- DeVore for California today released the results of a campaign poll undertaken by Adam Geller of National Research, Inc. The poll, conducted among likely voters on May 19th and 20th, with a margin of error of +/-5%, revealed the following candidate standings in the Republican race for the nomination to face Barbara Boxer in November:
Fiorina 28%
Campbell 26%
DeVore 19%
According to this poll, all three Republicans are well within one anothers' margin of error, and the spread between first and last place is in single digits. These results are broadly consonant with most of the major polls of this month, and in particular the PPIC poll conducted from May 9th through 16th.
The two polls that break dramatically from this consensus of data are the Research2000 poll of May 17th through 19th, which showed Tom Campbell with an improbable high of 37%; and the SurveyUSA poll released today, which shows Carly Fiorina with an unlikely 46%. The latter is especially dubious -- a gain of 22% in two weeks from the prior SurveyUSA effort -- given the likely conduct of the poll over a weekend with SurveyUSA's usual reliance upon random-digit dialing, neither of which lend themselves to accurate results.
