Fox/ Pulse Poll: Brown up by 9; Boxer leads by 4

[WI_DEM]

While California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina is trailing just outside the margin of error in her bid to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer, GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman seems to be falling out of contention in her race with Democrat Jerry Brown.

In a poll of likely voters, Brown led Whitman by 9 points, 50 percent to 41 percent, compared to last week when his margin was only 5 points. Whitman led in the first Fox News battleground state poll, taken Sept. 11, by 6 points.

Boxer, meanwhile, has been less successful at shaking Fiorina. The three-term incumbent leads former tech CEO Fiorina by 4 points, 48 percent to 44 percent, the same as last week and similar to all four weeks of Fox polling.

1. And as a Californian, I have to once again shake my head...

...HOW can Fiorina have ANY traction in a state she BONED?

5. Only 2 reasons

Unemployment and foreclosures. If economy was normal,
Boxer would win by 15 points.

4. These are Fox Likely Voter model

Based on their idea of a Likely Voter, if there's any kind of decent GOTV, these should fall to the Dem side easily.

6. Looking at the numbers, still danger for Boxer

Everyone needs to get out and vote in California.
