Poll: Voters Think Fiorina's More Electable

Now, I'm getting pretty tired of reporting about polls showing Carly Fiorina (R) and Meg Whitman (R) blowing away their competition in their respective primaries ahead of Tuesday's vote, but this one actually has some news.

A Field poll released today shows that California GOP voters think Fiorina is the best equipped candidate to beat Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) in the general election. 42% of voters think Fiorina has the best shot winning in the fall, compared with 22% for former Rep. Tom Campbell and 12% for Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.

This comes as a blow to the Campbell campaign, whose closing argument has been that he is the most electable candidate of the three. It doesn't appear to be working.

The poll also found Fiorina leading Campbell by 15 points, a similar margin to what other recent polls have found.
