Boxer tops

Rasmussen has announced the results of its latest polls in the California Senate election for 2010. As of now, Senator Boxer is leading her potential Republican rivals by 3-6% depending upon the opponent. Carly Fiorina runs the best among the Republicans. The news from the polls, however, is not that Boxer is ahead. In January this does not mean much. Rather, the big news is that Boxer gets 46% in each of the three polls. Normally an incumbent that is below 50% in polls of this sort is considered to be in trouble. After all, the populace already knows Boxer well and less than half support her. Undecideds tend to break heavily for the challenger in races with an entrenched incumbernt like boxer. Simply put, Boxer's seat is truly in play. Maybe she will be forced to let people call her Mrs. Boxer rather than Senator. She truly deserves the new title.
