A DEAD HEAT WITH 4 WEEKS TO GO

According to a new LA Times poll, supporters and opponents of the recall of Gray Davis are now running in a statistical dead heat.

Likely voters in the Oct. 7 election support the ouster of Davis by 50% to 47%, with just 3% undecided, the poll found. The result, a statistical tossup, is virtually unchanged from an August Times poll.

The 50% in favor remains unchanged from the last LAT poll, but the 47% against is up from 45% in the last poll. The margin of error for the poll is +/- 3%, so it's officially a tossup.

And this is with a month to go. And this is also before Clinton comes to town, and before Davis' new series of ads, which will run mostly in the central valley.
