A new poll conducted for the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee shows this race to be dead even, 44% to 44%, although a poll released Wednesday showed Boxer ahead 43% to 38%. We all knew this race was going to be close, both Republicans and Democrats are counting it among the top 6 tossups in the nation.
The one advantage Boxer has is the amount of cash on hand at the start of October. She had 6.5 million compared to Fiorina's 1.8 million. If Boxer prevails in the end, she may well owe it all to Fiorina's primary campaign which took most of her cash to win. Boxer started the general election phase of the contest with almost 10 million in her war chest, Fiorina had to start from scratch.
