RCP: Whitman Surges; Boxer-Fiorina Now Neck and Neck
Monday, September 13, 2010
Latest reports from the neutral website Real Clear Politics show some not good news for the two Democrats at the top of the ticket.
RCP has listed for some time both the California Governor and Senate races as toss-ups and continue to do so. However recent polls show both the Republican ladies moving up in recent days.
At the end of August Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman were dead tied at 43 and some change points in the RCP poll of polls. However, as of the end of last week Whitman has gained several points on Brown as apparently independents are starting to decide. As of today, Whitman is up four points over Brown though Brown has been ahead most of the campaign.
Over on the Senate side the race between incumbent Barbara Boxer and businesswoman Carly Fiorina is a squeaker as the former Hewlett-Packard CEO is catching up. Still a toss-up in RCP's view, even though Boxer has been ahead most of the summer, less than 3/10ths of one percent separate the two in the poll of polls even though individual polls put Fiorina slightly ahead. Like Whitman, Fiorina has made up considerable ground so far this September.
Stay tuned!
