Polls....meh. I say many of them are created so the candidates spend more money. [View all]

A poll from a couple months before the waste of money election:

Results:
Newsom remains in office: 61.9%
Remove Newsom for a GOP nut: 38.1% (and the winning nutcase GOP only got 1/2 of that 38%...so that would be 19% of the vote for Elder).

I think it's important to look back at these dumbass polls.
