Poll on Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein: Step aside [View all]
A University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll released over the weekend shows that most California voters surveyed think their two veteran Democratic senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, should not run for re-election.
Beyond the expected big majority of Republicans feeling that way, Democratic voters were divided almost equally on the question.
Boxer, who turns 74 on Tuesday and is up for re-election in two years, and Feinstein, 81, whose term expires in 2018, have not said whether they will try to win new six-year terms. But they have dropped a few hints.
Feinstein is preparing to reintroduce sweeping legislation to expand protection of the California desert. Last week, she told a gathering of environmentalists that it would be "the final campaign" to see the bill through.
