The new SurveyUSA poll of the California gubernatorial race gives Republican Meg Whitman a one-point advantage over Democratic state Attorney General and ex-governor Jerry Brown, in the race to succeed GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The numbers: Whitman 44%, Brown 43%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4.1% margin of error. In the previous poll from a month ago, Whitman actually had a wider lead of 46%-39%.
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Brown a narrow lead of 44.6%-42.7%.
