New Recall Poll: Statistical Dead Heat
The L.A. Times reports on its latest poll which shows that a recall is favored by 50% of the respondents. With the undecided vote at 3%, that puts the recall in a statistical dead heat.
Bustamante's unfavorability rating has increased, but he still commands a lead over Swarzenegger. Gray Davis' unfavorability rating has decreased.
Here are the election rules:
The first part of the recall ballot is a yes-or-no question on whether to dump Davis as governor. To stay in office, Davis needs a majority vote against the recall. The second part is a list of 135 candidates vying to succeed Davis. If voters kick Davis out of office, the replacement candidate with the highest number of votes will take his job. Voters can pick a successor regardless of their vote on the Davis referendum.
