The new SurveyUSA poll of California finds that Carly Fiorina has shot to the top of the Republican primary for Senate, and Meg Whitman is maintaining a huge lead in the gubernatorial primary, as well.
The numbers for the Senate race: Fiorina 46%, former Rep. Tom Campbell 23%, and Chuck DeVore 14%. The survey of likely GOP primary voters has a ±4% margin of error. In the last SurveyUSA poll from just two weeks ago, Campbell led with 35%, followed by Fiorina with 24% and DeVore at 15%.
The numbers for the gubernatorial race: Whitman 54%, state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner 27%. The survey of likely GOP primary voters has a ±4% margin of error. Two weeks ago, Whitman was ahead in SurveyUSA polling by the statistically insignificant margin of 39%-37%.
