Field Poll: Support for Hillary Clinton drops among California Dems
http://www.mercurynews.com/politics-government/ci_28930996/field-poll-support-hillary-clinton-drops-among-californiaCalifornia Democrats are losing faith in Hillary Clinton, according to a new Field Poll that shows her support plummeting in the Golden State -- just as it has across the country -- while voters here think it would be a "good thing" for Vice President Joe Biden to enter the presidential race.
Clinton's 19-point decline since May -- and 26-point drop since February -- is coupled with a surge of support for her closest rival Bernie Sanders, the poll found.
Add it all up and California is now less of lock for Clinton than ever before. One thing that appears more clear is Democrats here are looking for something to get excited about.
"Certainly we've been hearing a lot from the Republican side, they've been having spirited debates," said Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo. "Maybe Democrats would like to see a little more attention paid to their side, and if Biden got in, that would add a little more balance and drama to the campaign."
