The Field poll in CA is a highly respected statewide poll that is fairly accurate and methodologically sound. They release upcoming numbers via email a day early those with paid subscriptions, but ask for them to be embargoed until release. I am not a subscriber and the news is too good to sit on:
The Field Poll tomorrow will show:
Schwarzenegger's approval at 37% with registered voters and 31% among all adults.
UPDATE:
This poll was taken after Arnie's call for the special election.
From February to June, Arnie's approval has dropped from:
34% to 16% among Dems
84% to 66% among GOP
48% to 35% among non-partisan/decline-to-state
Almost no Dems have no opinion of the governor.
Respondents believe Arnie is negotiating in good faith fell from 47% to 32%
Who would voters support if 2 sides disagreed?
44% of respondents are more inclined to support leg leaders, compared to 32% for the Governor. This question was even in the last poll
There’s a whole section in the poll about comparisons to Gray Davis – that’s how bad it is.
Nurses, police officers, teachers, union members, public employees and everyone who has been hounding this joke of a Governor deserve the credit for this amazing news.
Lots of work left to be done, but we can smile a little bit, knowing our message is getting through and people are responding!
