Schwarzenegger rebounds in polls against Angelides

[jerry611]

SACRAMENTO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's image and job rating appear to be rebounding with voters, according to a new poll released Tuesday that shows the Republican governor leading Democratic state Treasurer Phil Angelides by 8 percentage points. The Field Poll found 45 percent of likely voters surveyed favored Schwarzenegger, with 37 percent backing Angelides.

Nearly half the 731 likely voters surveyed approved of Schwarzenegger's job performance, the first time since February 2005 that more voters approved than disapproved of the job he is doing, the Field Poll found.

And for the first time since September 2004, more voters rated as positive the direction the state is heading than said it was negative. Schwarzenegger's star had faded last year after voters defeated all his initiatives in his November special election.

The campaign this year has been a referendum on Schwarzenegger, the Field Poll found, with two-thirds of Angelides backers saying their support is a vote against the governor rather than an endorsement of his Democratic challenger.

1. I heard this on the local news last night.

They also said that Zogby had a poll that showed a dead heat.

After the wasted money on the propositions and the absolute evidence that he has done nothing for our state, anyone that would vote for him is an i-d-i-o-t.

Whenever someone says he's not so bad, I simply ask them to cite their sources. Funny, no one can ever think of one thing and back it up. Funny that...

2. What bullshit. What utter bullshit.

Maria Shriver was in Watsonville last weekend and the protests AGAINST Arnold were SOOOOOOO big that she left the rally EARLY. For the first time since 2004, my ass.

He hasn't done a f*cking thing. Anything he HAS done has done nothing but INFLAME the laborers in this state. The CDF (Ca. Dept. of Forestry) and the CNA (Ca. Nurse's Assoc.) HATE him. So do the firemen. So do the teachers. WTF?

Now they want to feed us all a line of crap as to this "new" positive trend. BULLSHIT. I don't believe it for a minute.

Remember. Rove's "people" are running his campaign. F*cking liars.
