Governors, 2010 Governor's Race | featured news

Gubernatorial candidates Jerry Brown, Democrat, and Meg Whitman, Republican, will meet in their third and final debate at 6:30 pm Tuesday at Dominican University of California in San Rafael.

Republicans are well-positioned to pick up a substantial number of governor's seats in this year's election, with potentially far-reaching effects on issues like implementation of the new health care law ...

Jerry Brown has a woman problem - he doesn t seem to grasp what it means to be running against one. The California governor's race generated yet another controversy Friday after the Los Angeles Times reported a private conversation, inadvertently captured on voice mail, in which the Democratic candidate and his aides discussed the possibility of portraying his billionaire GOP opponent, Meg Whitman, as a "whore."

The Democrats hold a narrow advantage in California where big-spending Republican Meg Whitman is struggling, as Democrats show increased enthusiasm about voting on November 2, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Tuesday.

A day after one poll showed the race for New York governor tightening, another poll shows Andrew M. Cuomo far ahead.

Carl P. Paladino, the Republican candidate, is closing the gap with Andrew M. Cuomo, a new poll found.

A majority of likely voters supports Democrat Andrew Cuomo in his bid for New York governor against Republican Carl Paladino, a Rasmussen Reports poll shows.

Fifty-four percent of likely voters favor Cuomo, the state’s attorney general, compared with 38 percent for Paladino, Rasmussen Reports said today. It’s the first survey of the state’s governor’s race the polling group has conducted since the Sept. 14 primaries.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman gave her campaign another $15 million Tuesday.

A new CNN/Time/Opinion Research survey in California finds Meg Whitman (R) leading Jerry Brown (D) among registered voters in the race for governor, 48% to 46%.

Said pollster Keating Holland: "The gender gap means that women usually vote Democratic, but female voters are evenly divided between Brown and Whitman. That may be due to some women choosing a female candidate over a male, depriving Brown of the traditional level of support from that key group."

Democrat Jerry Brown Tuesday will end his silence on the airwaves. Kicking off its long-awaited TV ad campaign on Labor Day, Brown's gubernatorial campaign unveiled a 30-second spot depicting the former governor as a frugal yet visionary leader who helped create 1.9 million jobs when he was governor in the late 70s and early 80s.
