CA-36: Ruiz (D) 48 Mack (R) 42!

A new Lake Research Partners poll of California’s 36th Congressional District (Palm Springs) shows Democrat Dr. Raul Ruiz leading incumbent Republican Mary Bono Mack by 6 points among voters who have already voted and those who are likely to vote combined. Among only voters who have not yet voted, Ruiz leads by 11 points. Republicans are at a slight advantage in party registration, but CA-36 is clearly leaning Democratic this year, with Obama leading Romney by 7 points. Voters increasingly are hearing about Ruiz and his contrasts with Bono Mack are resonating well. The data also indicate that Bono Mack’s attacks on Ruiz have been weak and ineffective.

She's not in my district, but I will be happy to see Ca version of Michelle Bachmann GONE!. Not as crazy, but still too close to call.

I know that the R has twice as much money as the D, but any word on the way the ground game is going?

this is the first time the Dems have run a real campaign. Gobs of money are being spent on negative ads on bothsides. She has nothing but 'pals around with Pelletier or Mumia' and death panels; He is using her record, and its working.
