Three-term California Sen. Barbara Boxer leads two of her potential GOP challengers, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Nov. 17.

Boxer leads former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina by 46 percent to 37 percent with 5 percent preferring someone else and 12 percent undecided.

She leads state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, around whom many conservative activists are rallying, by 46 percent to 36 percent with 5 percent preferring someone else and 13 percent undecided.

Both DeVore and Fiorina still suffer from name recognition problems with 44 percent not knowing enough about DeVore to express a favorable or unfavorable opinion and 31 percent in that position when it comes to Fiorina. By contrast, only 8 percent do not have an opinion of Boxer, who is regarded favorably by 51 percent and unfavorably by 41 percent.

It's too bad, but Fiorina is cut from the same cloth, so why change. I'm personally pushing for DeVore, but need to get him out there. He's a good conservative and could do good things for California if given the chance.

Californians, Boxer should be out of picture permanently. What's wrong with new younger candidates? Boxer is an old rusty relic. Just elect a new one please.

She is a national embarrassment. I hope the people of California can save their state and send people who love America to Congress for a change.

THIS IS CRAZY!!! You know what is going on in California. The same will happened to the federal government. If you let these two Boxer and Feinstein continue, as a matter of fact if you let all the current incumbents continue. I have never spoken out before, but I am going to speak out and tell everyone I know to VOTE OUT OF OFFICE EVERY INCUMBENT -regardless of party or track record - in every state, at every level of government and in 6 years we will have a government "Of the People, By the People and For the People"
We need to take our country back!!!! Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays from a Democracy Citizen of the United States of America.

I live in California and Know what everyone is talking about we have all the fruits and nuts in our Legislation unfornately we keep getting the stupids like Boxer , Fienstein and Pelosi with all the money and power to buy enough dope to keeps all of them happy so the remaining people that have not blown their noses and brains out and can see the fog over can't seem to get anywhere, Our unemployment just hit 12.5% but ole Nancy baby gets 8 billion to save a stinking Marsh Mouse, of which any one of intelligence knows that money is being used to buy more power to her and her constituents.

What can you expect from a state that would elect Arnold to be governor. As a resident of that state I have voted against Arnold, Barbara and other liberals but my vote seems to be wasted.
