Davis didn't get a majority even then. Think about it.

That's why Davis will lose the recall. He needs a majority to back him and the 30% that he bought with state money won't do.

Penn is the former pollster for President Clinton (news - web sites) and currently is working for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Lieberman (news - web sites), one of the more conservative contenders in the nine-candidate field. ....

Democrats Divided on Recall; Rest of California Overwhelmingly in Favor
Democrats also divided between Republican Schwarzenegger and Democrat Lt. Gov. Bustamante


...CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll over the past weekend provides some indication of how difficult a job it will be for Democrats to retain control of the California governor's seat. Republicans and independents overwhelmingly favor recalling Davis, and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is the clear favorite among both groups. But even among Democrats, there is substantial support for the recall of Davis and the election of the Republican Schwarzenegger....
