Rasmussen: Fiorina, Boxer Back in a Toss-Up

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer’s bid for re-election in California against Republican challenger Carly Fiorina is once again a toss-up.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of likely voters shows Boxer picking up 49 percent of the vote, her highest level of support since mid-July. Fiorina earns 45 percent support. Two percent prefer some other candidate, and five percent are undecided.

Two weeks ago, Boxer held a similar four-point edge -- 47 percent to 43 percent -- over Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

The survey of 750 likely voters in California was conducted on Oct. 3, 2010, by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
