Released: July 31, 2000 Feinstein has fragile lead over Campbell in California Senate race Slips to under 50% in Horse Race Zogby Poll indicates weakness in Feinstein support Democrat Dianne Feinstein holds an 11-point lead over Republican Tom Campbell in the California Senate race according to a new Zogby International survey. But the survey also showed Feinstein’s lead is under 50%. Pollster John Zogby: "This could be a close race. Feinstein’s support is soft and she is not reaching 50% among likely voters. It appears that Campbell has room to grow." In the survey of 601 likely voters in California conducted between July 24-26, Feinstein led Campbell overall 48.0% - 37.3%. In close analysis Feinstein led Campbell among Bay area voters 61.1%-29.7%, and among Los Angeles and San Diego area voters 45.9% - 35%. The two were virtually tied throughout the rest of the state (Feinstein 44.3% - Campbell 42.3%). The survey has a margin of sampling error was +/- 4%. However, when respondents were informed of both candidate positions on specific issues such as drugs, education and health care, subsequent support for Campbell increased dramatically. In the survey, a majority of respondents support Campbell’s positions over Feinstein’s on several key issues including combating illegal drugs (Campbell 57.5% - Feinstein 32%), addressing health care and HMO’s (Campbell 54.2%- Feinstein 32.2%) and uses for the federal surplus (Campbell 55.7% - Feinstein 34.9%). Campbell receives strong support from voters for being known as a maverick Republican who votes his conscience instead of the straight party line. More than half (55.6%) said that image made it more likely they would support Campbell.
