SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's call for a special election and a new advertising campaign to promote his agenda have failed to arrest his slide in popularity, according to a new statewide poll.

According to the Field Poll released Tuesday, 37 percent of registered California voters approve of Schwarzenegger's job performance, a drop of 18 percentage points since February.

Continuing a trend that began in January, 53 percent of registered California voters said they do not approve of Schwarzenegger's performance. That's a jump of 18 percentage points since February.

The biggest decline came among Democrats and nonpartisan voters, but the poll also found Schwarzenegger's support among Republican voters has fallen.

"In many ways, this poll was a reaction to the call for the special election," said poll director Mark DiCamillo, who noted that the seven-day survey began June 13, the same night Schwarzenegger announced his decision to call the special election.

2. That's okay. They railroaded Kevin Shelley out of a job after he took on
Diebold, and now with their new Diebold-friendly Republican SOS, they're all set! for the "special" election.

I fear we are about to get hosed, again- unless people are paying REAL close attention.

4. even here in Orange County, you would
B hard pressed 2 find support - tooooo many teachers, nurses, firefighters and police make up the middle class population of this county. I will admit tho, I do not talk politics w/ my rabid, rethug, rong wing brother in Sac nor parents 'n sister in Palm Springs. They all think I am a wild 'n crazy activist cuz I attend demonstrations 'n vigils, write letters, work on campaigns and am on the democratic central committee!
