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.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
