It’s now a race for the GOP nomination for Governor. Back in March, former eBay CEO Meg Whitman held a seemingly insurmountable lead over Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. Polling data at that time put eMeg at 61%, the Commish at 11%, with 25% undecided. Last week, the same polling company – PPIC – put Whitman at 38%, Poizner at 29% and 31% undecided.
A combination of the Arizona immigration law (Whitman opposes, Poizner (while not specifically supporting it) says that Arizona “has a right” to enact its law; the Tom McClintock endorsement of Poizner (“this isn’t even a close call”, said the conservative icon McClintock); and the Goldman-Sachs imbroglio (eMeg was on the Board of Directors of G-S for a short stint), have caused Whitman's numbers to drop, Poizner's tp rise slightly, and undecided to actually increase by a smidge.
At this point, CR still gives the edge to Whitman, but she’s going to have to achieve a momentum shift. More of the same isn’t working.
Is Sarah Palin looking to make an endorsement in this race? Now THAT would be a game changer!
