– Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown holds the upper hand in the Golden State, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll has found.
In the online survey of a representative sample of 501 registered voters in California, 53 per cent of decided voters and leaners would support Brown in next month's election. Republican contender Meg Whitman is second with 41 per cent, followed by Laura Wells of the Green Party with two per cent, and Dale Ogden of the Libertarian Party with one per cent.
Brown is clearly ahead of Whitman among male voters (56% to 37%) and respondents aged 18 to 34 (55% to 38%), but the race tightens among female voters (50% to 46%) and respondents aged 55 and over (48% to 45%).

In the U.S. Senate race, 55 per cent of decided voters and leaners would support incumbent Barbara Boxer of the Democratic Party, while two-in-five (39%) would back Republican challenger Carly Fiorina. Two per cent of respondents would support Independent Edward Noonan, and one per cent would vote for Green Party candidate Duane Roberts.
Boxer is particularly popular among respondents aged 18 to 34 (64%), while Fiorina gets her best showing among voters aged 55 and over (44%).
