With Whitman and Fiorina still trailing in a new poll, it appears that California's diverse electorate isn't comfortable with the GOP candidates or positions.

Democrat Jerry Brown has moved ahead of Republican Meg Whitman in the stretch run for governor, a new poll finds. And it's not surprising. Whitman is dragging the weight of her party.

In California's other feature race, for the U.S. Senate, Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer is hanging onto a slight lead over Republican Carly Fiorina.

But for the GOP, the voters' attitude is 2 to 1 negative: 31% favorable, 62% unfavorable.
