The new Fox News poll of the California gubernatorial race shows Republican former eBay CEO Meg Whitman continuing to lead the Democratic nominee, former governor and current state Attorney General Jerry Brown.
The numbers: Whitman 49%, Brown 43%. The survey of likely voters has a ±3% margin of error. There is no prior Fox News poll of this race, but this poll was conducted through an offshoot of Rasmussen, Pulse Opinion Research. The previous Rasmussen poll from last week put Whitman ahead by 48%-45%.
The TPM Poll Average gives Whitman a lead of 46.5%-44.1%.
