California Governor: Whitman (R) 48%, Brown (D) 40%
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in California finds Meg Whitman earning 48% support, while Democrat Jerry Brown picks up 40% of the vote. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
It is meaningless information. The reason is that Billionaire Meg Whitman has spent over $104 Million of her own money on the campaign. Jerry Brown obviously doesn’t have that amount of money. He will undoubtedly begin campaigning after the Labor Day weekend.
It really doesn’t matter who wins the election because the state legislature faces a requirement of a 2/3 vote to approve a budget. This requirement is in the state’s constitution.
Arnold Schwarzenegger proved the weakness of the California governor. Most of his ideas were never implemented.
