| Description | Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein is on course for a re-election victory next November and not even Republican dream candidates such as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice seem likely to stop her, a Field Poll released today shows.
Feinstein's potential re-election in 2006 for another six years is backed by 56 percent of California's voters, up from 53 percent in February. That's even higher than the 54 percent who like the job she's doing as the California's senior U.S. senator.
"She's probably regained her mantle as California's most popular politician, which she gave up briefly to Arnold Schwarzenegger,'' said Mark DiCamillo, director of the poll.
That popularity was highlighted in the poll's head-to-head election matchup with the governor. Feinstein had a 62 percent to 32 percent lead over Schwarzenegger in the hypothetical election, pulling 86 percent of the Democratic votes, 66 percent of the nonpartisan backing and a surprisingly strong 29 percent support from Republicans. |
