First post-illegal-housekeeper poll in CA shows Brown up by 5 (Rasmussen)

[FBaggins]

The new Rasmussen poll of the California gubernatorial race -- the first survey since Republican former eBay CEO Meg Whitman became implicated in a scandal over having hired an illegal immigrant housekeeper -- shows Democratic state Attorney General Jerry Brown, who previously served as governor from 1975-1983, building up his newfound lead against her.

The numbers: Brown 49%, Whitman 44%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4% margin of error. In the previous Rasmussen poll from two weeks ago, Brown led Whitman by 47%-46%.

Also of note, the TPM Poll Average now gives Brown a bare lead of 45.2%-45.1% -- the first time in many weeks that he has been ahead in this measurement.

3. If Rasmussen has a Democrat up by 5, he's really up by 8

It might be a little early to take this one to the bank, but things are looking good.
