SAN DIEGO -- According to an exclusive 10News/Survey USA poll, if the election were held today, Gov. Gray Davis would be recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger would be elected governor.
Of 493 people statewide who say they are "certain" to vote, two-thirds say they will vote to recall Davis from office. And in the second question on the ballot, 51 percent say they will vote for Schwarzenegger, the actor turned candidate.
The next closest competitor is Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante. Only 17 percent say they will cast their vote for him in October. Peter Ueberroth, Bill Simon, Tom McClintock and Arriana Huffington are all in the single digits. Only three percent say they are undecided.
According to 10News, Schwarzenegger's support comes from everywhere. His numbers only dip below 50 percent among older voters, African-Americans and Democrats. But, even with the Democrats, he edges out Bustamante 38 percent to 31 percent.
Schwarzenegger also outpolls Bustamante almost 2:1 among Latino voters.
Another interesting result from the poll is that the percentage of registered voters who say they will certainly or probably will vote, is very high.
Another statewide 10News/Survey USA poll will be taken in two weeks.
