SurveyUSA Poll: Boxer Up 6 In CA-SEN Race

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Senate candidate Carly Fiorina (R-CA)

A new SurveyUSA poll of the California Senate race shows Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer ahead of Republican former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina 49%-43%.

The latest survey’s numbers are very different than the firm’s findings in its September 1 poll — Fiorina was up 48%-46%. The Democratic nominee has come out on top of all six polls conducted for the contest since September 6 — the latest, prior to today’s, was a September 20 Rasmussen poll that gave Boxer a 47%-43% advantage.

The TPM Poll Average shows Boxer leading the contest 47.1%-44.8%. The margin of error of the newest survey is ±4.0 percentage points.
