A new Rasmussen poll of the California gubernatorial race shows Democratic state Attorney General and ex-Governor Jerry Brown holding a slight edge over Republican nominee and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. Rasmussen’s latest numbers show Brown leading 43%-41%. However, given the poll’s ±4.0 margin of error, the race appears to remain up for grabs.
When Rasmussen last looked at the race on July 12, Whitman led Brown 47%-46%. On July 25, a PPP poll painted a slightly different picture, giving Brown a 46%-40 lead. While surveys conducted within the last few months have varied on the race’s leader, the point differential has remained slight.
The TPM Poll Average shows Brown leading Whitman 44.7%-42.3%.
