[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

California Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has increased her lead over Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer to five percentage points according to a new CBS 5 KPIX-TV poll released Thursday, which also shows gubernatorial candidates Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman in a dead heat.

The CBS 5 poll, conducted by the research firm SurveyUSA, showed Fiorina edging Boxer 47 percent to 42 percent, compared to a CBS 5 poll one month ago showing Fiorina over Boxer 47 to 45 percent.

The poll results indicated Fiorina's support was essentially unchanged among men and women, young and old, white and Hispanic while Boxer had lost small ground among men, younger voters, and independents.

The poll also showed Fiorina tripling her lead in the Central Valley, from seven points one month ago to 21 points in this latest poll.

Meanwhile, the CBS 5 poll has gubernatorial candidates Whitman and Brown at 44 and 43 percent, respectively, effectively even within the poll's 4.1 percent error margin. Compared to a CBS 5 poll one month ago, Whitman is down two percent, while, Brown is up four percent.

According to the pollsters, Brown gained ground among women over the past month, while Whitman leads among men. More Democrats have also moved toward Brown over the past month; 74 percent of Democrats voted for Brown versus 64 percent in the previous poll. 78 percent of Republicans vote for Whitman, unchanged from last month.

In the race for Lieutenant Governor, Democratic challenger and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is effectively even with incumbent Republican Abel Maldonado, according to the poll. Newsom has 43 percent while Maldonado has 42 percent.

Proposition 19, which would legalize marijuana in California and allow it to be regulated and taxed, continues to be supported by voters according to the poll. Results show Prop. 19 passing 50 to 40 percent, unchanged from the CBS 5 poll conducted a month ago.

For the last year, we have already have radio ads for "clinics" that will help you get your Medicinal Marijuana ID Card, even offering Senior and Military discounts. The latest, are tax advisors advertising their services, to help the "dispensaries" get their books in order, and become "in compliance" once the ballot measure passes and becomes law.

I would like to open a dispensary in Michigan. Still have to look into the legal process of doing so.
