(Reuters) - Democratic candidates hold a narrow advantage in the run-up to November's congressional elections in California where big-spending Republican Meg Whitman is struggling in the race for governor, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Tuesday.

Whitman is a billionaire and former eBay CEO who has spent at least $119 million of her own money on her campaign.
