Via Rough&Tumble, a new PPIC poll shows Davis widening his lead:
When Davis outpolls Simon on ethics, you know GOP is in a jam — Score the summer round for Gov. Gray Davis. A new poll shows just how one-sided this contest has been. It’s not merely that Davis leads Bill Simon by 11 percentage points among likely voters, 41% to 30%, in the survey by pollster Mark Baldassare for the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California. It’s worse than that for Simon: Voters think Davis is the more ethical. George Skelton in the Los Angeles Times — 8/29/02 Link to the poll here
Remember the folks who said they had to vote for Simon over Riordan because Simon was the Man of Principle? Ha.
