Jerry Brown carries 16-point lead over Neel Kashkari for governor

[RandySF]

SACRAMENTO – Gov. Jerry Brown continues to lead his Republican challenger, Neel Kashkari, by a double-digit margin while support for Brown’s rainy day fund measure is gaining ground, according to a Public Policy Institute of California poll released Wednesday.

The statewide poll showed 52 percent of likely voters support re-electing Brown while 36 percent favor Kashkari, a former U.S. Treasury official and Goldman Sachs banker. That is a narrower margin than the institute’s last poll in September, which showed Brown with an edge of 21 percentage points.

A majority – 56 percent – continue to support Proposition 1, a $7.5 billion water bond, while Proposition 2 has 49 percent support. The measure to establish a more robust rainy day fund has gained 6 points from 43 percent in September.

Both were passed by the Legislature and are being promoted by Brown ahead of the Nov. 4 election.

1. Maybe it's time for Neel to break the glass.

He had a plan for that in 2008. I don't think it will help him here.
