Fiorina In Statistical Tie With Mrs. Boxer

47-44 with a 3.2% margin of error? We'll call it a tie.

Boxer's slight numerical lead masks potentially serious problems for the senator, starting with how 52 percent of the respondents hold an unfavorable view of her.

At the same time, her job approval rating is among the lowest that Field has measured for her since she was first elected to the Senate in 1992: 43 percent of registered voters disapprove of her performance while 42 percent approve. Among likely voters, 48 percent disapprove and 42 percent approve.

While voters' responses to a pollster in July may change by the time they vote in November, the new poll shows that whether voters love or hate her, 93 percent hold an opinion about Boxer.

"She is vulnerable," Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo said. "This is very ominous for her."

If Fiorina is this close now, just wait until she unleashes the Demon Sheep on Boxer's ass!

Here's something I'd like to hear from Barbara Boxer next year: "I insist you call me Former Senator Boxer! Do you know how hard you have to work to be a Democrat and still lose in California?"
