Arnie Gaining Steam

Maybe McClintock doesn't need to drop out after all:

In a new poll of probable voters released Sunday, support for the recall of Gray Davis has reached 63 percent, and recall candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger leads the other candidates with 40 percent. Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante was second with 25 percent support.

The poll, conducted by CNN, USA Today and the Gallup polling organization, showed that support for firing Davis stronger than many other polls suggested and that Schwarzenegger may finally be reaping the rewards of a solidified electorate.

And Davis is looking mighty toasty, to be sure.
