CA Senate race tightens

Ma'am Sen. Boxer is still polling at less than 50% which is a danger sign for an incumbent. Rasmussen finds this regardless of whether she is matched against ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina, state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, or newly announced candidate ex Rep. Campbell. In all cases, and despite her opponent's relative lack of name recognition, Ma'am Boxer polls a mere 46%. Since November, Boxer's support is unchanged while the "not sure" and "other" voters have been switching to the Republican side. According to Rasmussen's poll of 500 likely voters, a Boxer-Fiorina race would look like:

Candidate	Nov 17	Jan 14
Fiorina (R)	37%	43%
Boxer (D)	46%	46%
Other	5%	3%
Not Sure	12%	8%

Chuck DeVore's support has risen 4% since November:

Candidate	Nov 17	Jan 14
DeVore (R)	36%	40%
Boxer (D)	46%	46%
Other	5%	4%
Not Sure	13%	10%

Newly announced candidate Tom Cambell has 42%:

Candidate	Nov 17	Jan 14
Campbell(R)	--	42%
Boxer (D)	--	46%
Other	--	3%
Not Sure	--	9%

Because only 500 voters were surveyed, the margin for error is +/- 4.5%.

Sen. Boxer polls are low despite the fact that, according to Rasmussen, support for Obamacare is stronger in California than in the rest of the Nation:

In California, 49% favor the health care plan, while 48% oppose it. But as in other states, the emotion is on the side of the opponents: Just 25% of California voters Strongly Favor the plan while 39% Strongly Oppose it.
