Rasmussen: Meg Only 4% Behind Brown

There has been an assortment of bogus polls released lately showing Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown with as much as a 13 point lead over Meg Whitman.  An analysis of those polls, such as the one from the LA Times, shows significant overpolling of Democrats and Hispanics, not to mention first time voters making it into the likely voter screens.  Hack jobs...period.

Today Rasmussen has a poll showing a much closer race than the media has been reporting:

With only a few days until Election Day, Democrat Jerry Brown holds a slightly smaller lead over Republican Meg Whitman in California’s gubernatorial race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Brown picking up 49% support, while Whitman draws the vote from 45%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are still undecided.

These numbers move the race from Leans Democrat back to a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Gubernatorial Scorecard.

This race is still very winnable for Whitman. Turnout will be the key on Tuesday, not to mention my theory about how time zones could change races in California. With three hours still to go in California the polls in about half the country will have closed and results will start coming in. That could have an affect on people who were thinking of voting after work.
