SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A majority of California voters would be inclined to vote for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger over potential Democratic rivals if he runs for a second term next year, according to a leading statewide poll released on Friday.

The Republican governor has not committed to seeking re-election, but if he did, 56 percent of registered voters say they would tend to support him against 42 percent who say they would not, the Field Poll found.

When possible Democratic candidates are paired against Schwarzenegger, he is favored in each case by margins ranging from 15 to 19 percentage points, according to the Field Poll.
