POSSIBLE? – AT 8:07 A.M. ET:  NRO is reporting a new poll that gives hope to the GOP in California:

I think we’ll know very soon if this CrossTarget poll of the California Senate race is an outlier, or whether Carly Fiorina has gotten enough of a bump from her primary win to make this a neck-and-neck race with Barbara Boxer.

Boxer 46.5%

Fiorina 47.0%

Undecided 6.5%

Rasmussen had Boxer by 5, but the incumbent’s lead has been pretty marginal in most recent polls: 6, 3, 9, 4, 7, 1.

And if Barbara Boxer really is in trouble… well, the Democrats had better run and hide in the rest of the country.

COMMENT:  Approach this with caution.  But, even if the poll is off by as much as five points, Boxer would still be in serious trouble.
