Poll: Boxer leading Fiorina in Calif. Senate race
By JUDY LIN (AP) – 27 minutes ago

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has widened her lead over Republican challenger Carly Fiorina, according to a Field Poll released Friday.

The survey showed Boxer leading Fiorina 47 percent to 41 percent, with 12 percent of voters undecided. A July Field Poll showed Boxer with support from 47 percent of voters, compared to 44 percent for Fiorina, a gap that was within that poll's margin of error.

"I would surmise much of this has to do with the advertising that the Boxer campaign has done," Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said. "It has had the intended effect."

Boxer enjoyed a 12-to-1 cash advantage over Fiorina in the latest campaign reports, made public early in the summer.

Boxer began running advertisements Sept. 13, the day before polling began for the survey, while Fiorina did not launch her first statewide TV ad until Thursday. Boxer opened with a television ad highlighting her accomplishments in Congress, then released an ad accusing Fiorina of enriching herself as a corporate executive while laying off thousands of workers at Hewlett-Packard Co. and shipping jobs overseas.

1. Yeah Boxer seems to be pulling away. I am also hoping the undecideds fall her way.

She needs to continue to run the Boxer/Outsourcing Ad all the way up to election.

Her numbers have been getting better ever since she started running it.

4. Very encouraging to see this polling result -- and just

think -- it's all the more impressive that Boxer's doing it with a so-yesterday hairdo.

Carly Fiorina's campaign -- unfortunately for her -- has Carly Fiorina as its nominee. I don't think voters will respond very well to Carly's 'Mean Girl' persona.

Go, Barbara Boxer.
