Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer’s still out in front of Republican nominee Carly Fiorina in California’s Senate race, a new Rasmussen poll reports. The survey puts Boxer in the lead, 45%-40%.

The new numbers are in line with past polling from Rasmussen, which since May has shown Boxer with a lead wavering between five and seven points. Most post-primary polls also give Boxer the edge, although a July 11 SurveyUSA poll showed Fiorina up two.

Unlike PPP’s last survey of the contest, today’s Rasmussen poll included no joke questions about the two candidates’ hair.

The TPM Poll Average of the race shows Boxer up 46.5%-42.4%. The margin of error of the latest Rasmussen poll is ±4.0 percentage points.
