How is it that we hear soooo many bad things and grumblings about Arnie the Gov.......yet in the latest and largest poll released today he has more than a 16 point lead heading down the homestretch?
Just curious on peoples takes...........Do you vote for Arnie because of politcal lines, or do you actually like what he has done and has planned? People I've talked to in my office say they can't stand the Govenator but they vote for him because of political lines. Hmmmmmm I just find it interesting.
What's your take?

His opponent is anti-motorsports, anti-lakes,, and anti-industry in Calif.
That simple.
Arnie got elected because the guy he replaced spent money the State didn't have.
That simple.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a 16-point lead over Democratic state Treasurer Phil Angelides, according to a Field Poll released Wednesday.
Last month, the same survey found the governor was leading Angelides by 10 points.
Angelides leads Schwarzenegger in Los Angeles County but is tied or behind in every other area. Statewide, the governor leads 49 percent to 33 percent among likely voters.
Schwarzenegger's approval rating has risen during the last month, and 55 percent now hold a favorable impression of him, which is highest it has been since February 2005, when it was 62 percent.
Voters were evenly divided between positive and negative views of Angelides.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein leads her Republican opponent, former state Sen. Dick Mountjoy, 55 percent to 33 percent; 59 percent view Feinstein in favorable terms.
The survey was taken by telephone in English and Spanish from Oct. 23-30. The likely voter sample used for the governor's race has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
A smaller sample of 401 likely voters was used for the Senate race and to rate candidate images. It has a sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Liberals are the vocal minority. They do not understand that rhetoric does not get things done.

It seems today people vote the lesser of two evils. Both candidates usually suck, just which one sucks less....

Bingo. It's not that Arnie is the best, it's the fact that he's not the worst.

People complain because they can. There will always be people complaining no matter how well something is going. Our press likes to dwell on the negative and not the positive. Arnie is doing a decent job better than the last couple.

I like and support Arnold for several reasons. One of witch is he got his mug on TV and promoted Calif. with his "Buy Calif....Support Calif" campaign. Another reason is he tried to do something to correct the problems of the state and the ones past governers and legislators created, thats more than Davis did, all he did was take money [another word for bribes] to line his pockets for future campaigns. At least Arnold did SOMETHING, might have been wrong depending who you talk to but thats better than sitting idley by while the state crumbles around you. Arnold said he would take issues to the voters if the legislators did not do what they were elected to do, and he did. So whats the problem with him? Vote for Arnold? yep, I'll vote early and often for him.

When you take a good look a the political environment Arnold came into you will se he has done about as much as he could do for us. He has to deal with a horrendous legislature. His veto pen alone has saved us many times from disaster since he has come into office. His opponet Phil Angelides is a far left winger who would be a rubber stamp for our schizoid legislature and the cost of our wasteful state government would rise and more nutty laws would be passed than ever under him. Most people know Arnold is an easy target for complaints. But he is in a situation where it is impossable for him as governor to do much more good and prevent more harm than he has done.

No meat to the dems arguments, who are mostly backed by unions and trial attorneys, and we know how concerned they are with anybody that isn't one of them. Dems also rely too much on neg. rheteric, and most voters would rather hear what positive changes they can bring. Above all, Ang. has no personality and Arnold has improved the state's condition. Look at CA bonds, for ex.

Correct. This is truly one of those instances when I will be voting against a man and his philosophy rather than voting for the other guy.

I don't vote in CA. I also wondered why NY voted for Hilary.
Liberals want to take away my boat, take away my truck, take away my dirtbike, take away my snowmobile, take away my gun, take away my paycheck, take away my gas/power.
Then they are mystified as to why they lose.

It's sad so many people don't see such a simple and obvious truth.

I think most people live their everyday lives by what are termed 'conservative values'. I'm not talking hardcore religious right-winger values. What I am talking about is that at the end of the day people want to be secure in their safety, make their own money, not look to the government to sovle their problems nor tell them how to live their life. Then when it comes time to vote they forget all of that.....

Arnold is anti-public safety and against the nurses and teachers.
