More than half of the respondents said, ''Chuck DeVore? Who?''
SurveyUSA released a new poll sponsored by four major media outlets in the state — local ABC-affiliates KABC-TV in Los Angeles, KFSN-TV in Fresno, KGTV-TV in San Diego, and CBS-affiliate KPIX-TV San Francisco — that surveys the favorable and unfavorable figures for Barbara Boxer and her two potential Republican opponents, Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore.
The poll produced ugly figures for both Fiorina and DeVore.
Conducted the day of Fiorina’s declaration of her candidacy, she was viewed favorably by only 11 percent and unfavorably by 24 percent — more than twice as much — and 33 percent had no opinion.
DeVore, riding high from the endorsement of conservative Senate icon Jim DeMint and his Senate Conservatives Fund yesterday, didn’t even crack double-digits in favorability. He was viewed positively by only 8 percent and respondents had an unfavorable view of him nearly twice that. More than half of the respondents, however, basically replied, “Chuck Devore? Who?”
Barbara Boxer, seeking her third term to the U.S. Senate, received 30/33 favorable/unfavorable figures.
Sampling size was 500 adults with a margin of error ±4.5 percent and conducted on Wednesday, November 4.
