	2003 California recall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		California was hit harder than other states at the end of the speculative bubble known as the "dot-com boom" — from 1996 to 2000 — when Silicon Valley was the center of the internet economy.
		California had a $95 million contract with Oracle Corporation that was found to be unnecessary and overpriced by the state auditor.
		Polls also showed that the two leading candidates, Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante, a Democrat, and Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, were neck and neck with about 25-35% of the vote each, and Bustamante with a slight lead in most polls.

		A 13-year-old boy in California was facing jail time for shooting a spitball that accidentally hit another boy in the eye; the boy, who has a heart condition and has undergone heart surgery twice, was convicted of causing serious bodily injury and mayhem and could be sent to prison for eight years.
		A California man was arrested for torturing and dissecting his daughter's guinea pig because he thought it was a robot with a camera in its head sent to spy on him by government agents.

	Mystery Pollster: October 31, 2005 - November 6, 2005
		Polling the Props: Part II As the special election campaign draws to a close, the polls in California indicate an across-the-board sweep of four propositions supported by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
		Collectively, the Field Poll, the LA Times Poll and the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) are among the most respected survey research organizations in the country.
		The Polimetrix approach to political polling is to draw a true random sample from the list of registered voters provided by election officials then go into their panel of volunteers and select the closest possible match for each sampled voter based on a set of demographic variables.

	Mystery Pollster: Polling the Props: Part I
		California has had only two statewide special elections in the last fifteen years in an odd numbered "off year." In 1993, according to data from the California Secretary of State, only 27.7% of the eligible population voted.
		In the 2002 general election, the low turnout took California's three preeminent pollsters (Field, PPIC and the LA Times) by surprise according to a paper co-authored by principals from each of those organizations (that was presented at the 2003 AAPOR conference).
		According to the California Secretary of State, the percentage of voters that skipped any one of the propositions varied between 6% and 16% of those that cast ballots in 2003 and 2004.

		Or this poll, taken with twice as many respondents, which shows that, among registered voters, Schwarzenegger leads Bustamante 42% to 22%.
		The polling cannot be as accurate as it was ten years ago.
		The GOP probably needs to solidify behind 1 candidate but polls show Arnold continuing to drop then the others might think they are the ones to stay in the race.

		We still are getting state polls conducted in the timeframe right after the first debate, which to beat a dead horse is a timeframe which does not give me the utmost confidence in the results.
		The poll's internals show that the sample had more Republicans than Democrats; in 2000 the turnout was 45% D, 34% R according to the VNS exit poll.
		The biggest surprise here is that the Field poll, which normally favors the Democrats, does not have the margin as being even larger.

		Californians head to the polls Tuesday to vote in a special election on a series of propositions that are seen as a referendum on Schwarzenegger's policies as California governor.
		A majority of California voters questioned for the Field Poll said they are unlikely to support Schwarzenegger for re-election next year, mostly because of his call for the special election next week.
		Fifty-five percent of voters in the poll said they are not inclined to support Schwarzenegger next year, while 36 percent said they would support him and 9 percent expressed no opinion.

		Behind Schwarzenegger in the Times poll were three other Republicans: state Sen. Tom McClintock, with 12 percent; former baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth, with 7 percent; and Bill Simon, with 6 percent.
		He said his decision to withdraw was based on his belief that there were "too many Republicans" in the race, and the poll results may bear that out.

		The California Field poll continues to show that Proposition 22 is winning handily.

		As the Green Party candidate for governor of California in the election on November 5th, he is often warned that he could end up helping Bill Simon, the Republican candidate, to defeat Gray Davis, the incumbent.
		A Field poll released on September 5th gave Mr Davis a lead of seven percentage points over Mr Simon, considerably larger than the 3% of voters who supported Mr Camejo.
		But the poll also showed 22% undecided, a share that has risen--at a stage in the campaign when opinions would normally be becoming firmer, not softening--from 16% in July.

	Gore, Bush campaigns dance 'Texas two-step' in California - March 29, 2000
		LOS ANGELES (CNN) --Although California and its coveted 54 electoral votes have swung Democratic in the last two presidential elections, the state remains a behemoth in American politics that presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Al Gore cannot afford to take for granted.
		Although Gore holds a 12-point advantage over his Republican rival Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the most recent CNN polls, the governor is already wooing Golden State voters with something of a Texas two-step that promises to keep Democrats on their toes.
		At one point in 1999, the Texas governor enjoyed the backing of roughly 30 percent of California's Latino population before that support plummeted to just 18 percent this year, according to the latest California Field Poll.

	Sample Chapter for Nicholson, S.P.: Voting the Agenda: Candidates, Elections, and Ballot Propositions.
		More than a year before his 1994 reelection bid, Wilson had the lowest approval rating of any California governor in the history of the California Field Poll and trailed his likely Democratic opponent, Kathleen Brown, by more than twenty percentage points.
		In a word, the "agenda." In California's 1994 elections, the agenda included hot-button ballot initiatives, most notably Proposition 187, an initiative that sought to deny illegal immigrants public benefits.
		The initiative was the topic of extensive political debate in the media as well as in the candidate races, resulting in a majority of voters naming it the most important political event of the elections, including the Senate and governor's contests (Lubenow 1995, 124).

		Arnold Schwarzenegger suddenly ranks among the most unpopular governors in modern California history, as residents grow increasingly unhappy about the action hero-turned-politician's budget plans and his call for a special election, according to a new Field Poll.
		Although the poll numbers for the three initiatives Schwarzenegger is backing in November won't be released until today, an unpopular messenger won't help the message, said Gale Kaufman, a Democratic consultant who's running the union-backed effort against the governor's initiatives.
		The poll is based on a telephone survey of 954 California adults, including 711 registered voters, and was conducted June 13-19.

		The November 2002 election in California had the lowest voter turnout and the largest number of third-party gubernatorial candidate votes in the state’s history.
		This paper summarizes the pre-election surveys that were conducted by our three polling organizations prior to the 2002 general election in California-the Field Poll, the Los Angeles Times Poll, and the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) Statewide Survey.
		Taking into account variations in methods, low voter turnout, third-party voting, and voters’ ambivalence toward the major party candidates, the pre-election surveys in the 2002 California governor’s election were consistent over time and across polling organizations, and reasonably accurate in predicting the election results.
