AS=AH............... Poll shows support for Schwarzenegger fading Wed Jun 29, SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A majority of California voters are not inclined to re-elect Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, marking a sharp reversal of support since February, according to a Field Poll released on Wednesday. The survey found 57 percent of voters are not inclined to vote for Schwarzenegger if he runs for re-election next year, compared with 56 percent who said in February they were inclined to re-elect the Republican governor. The findings mirror a recent Field Poll that found the Hollywood icon's approval rating among registered voters has plunged to 37 percent from 55 percent in February and that voters oppose two of three measures Schwarzenegger is supporting in the special November election he called. Republicans and conservatives continue to back Schwarzenegger by large margins, but their support is more than offset by large proportions of Democrats, nonpartisans, moderates and liberals who oppose a possible second term, according to the Field Poll's results. The survey also found Schwarzenegger trails state Treasurer Phil Angelides and state Controller Steve Westly, two Democrats who are seeking the governor's office, in election match-ups. Angelides leads Schwarzenegger by a 46 percent to 42 percent margin. Westly leads Schwarzenegger by a 44 percent to 40 percent margin. The poll's findings are based on a random sample of 711 registered voters in California interviewed by telephone from June 13-19 in English and Spanish. The findings have a sampling error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
