Jerry Brown, the presumptive Democratic nominee, leads all three Republican candidates in hypothetical head-to-head matches by six, twelve and sixteen points, respectively. CNN:
In a hypothetical general election matchup, the poll indicates Brown, the state's sitting attorney general and former two-term governor from 1975 to 1983, has a 6 point lead over Whitman. Brown, who has yet to declare his candidacy for governor, leads Campbell by 12 and Poizner by 16 points in possible matchups next year. About one in five voters are undecided in the general election matchups.
