according to a poll by rasmussen this week. they are california, illinois, washington, nevada. the california race is between two women, republican carly fiorina, former hewlett-packard ceo and democrat barbara boxer who is seeking seeking her thir as senator. both ladies are coming out swinging. >> barbara boxer has been in washington, d.c. for 28 long years and the results of her policies are devastating for this state. when she was ceo of hewlett- packard, before she she was terminated, actually. she shipped 30 ,000 jobs overseas. >> the most politically decisive issue of this campaign in california? i ask you eleanor. >> we have 9.7% unemployment and people are worried about jobs and they don't like the fact jobs are going overseas. the irony in that california race is that fiorina did oversea the shipping of jobs to china and india and she is now accusing boxer of accepting contributions from companies that shipped jobs overseas, including contributions from hewlett-packard. so it is two degrees of separation. everyone is guilty in the global economy, but the republicans a

they are rasmussen numbers that show republicans ahead on all those issues, as well. i think you can't count your chickens before they are hatched. republicans are doing well and democrats are in for a wicked beating this fall. if you look at polls in traditional democratic states like california, you can see republicans pick up and the governorship there. in washington, president obama won by 16 points and is is a shot of beating the incumbent. democrats are running away from the obama agenda whether it's tax increases, huge bailouts, deficit spending or the only democrats are talking about the obama health care takeover are the ones that are touting their votes against it. the obama agenda is in for a real rejection on november 2nd. >> julie: i want to pull up a poll, when asked how interested are you in the 2010 elections, democrats versus republicans it seems that republicans are much more interested than democrats 41% extremely interested versus 29% of democrats, very interested. 31% of democrats according to this poll, 37% of republicans are. so why do you think
