Schwarzenegger bad poll news:re-election edition

The Desert Sun:

After watching Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger run the state for a year and a half, a majority of California voters aren't ready to re-elect him next year, according to the latest Field Poll.

The poll found that 57 percent of the state's voters are disinclined to re-elect Schwarzenegger, while 39 percent would consider giving him another term in office. Just 4 percent of voters surveyed had no opinion.

In fact, the poll found that in a preliminary match-up against possible Democratic opponents, Schwarzenegger would lose to Treasurer Phil Angelides by a 46 percent to 42 percent vote and Controller Steve Westly 44 percent to 40 percent.

The first-term governor was in trouble with women and Latinos, in most major regions of the state, and in every age group.

It's been said before, but if Arnold can't generate special election support, I don't see him running for a second term.
