he latest SurveyUSA polling shows the California duo of Senate candidate Carly Fiorina and Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman surging into the lead in their respective races.  The gubernatorial poll (614LVs, 7/8/10-7/11/10, MOE +/- 4%) shows Whitman leading former Governor Jerry Brown 46%-39%.  In the Senate poll (614 LVs, 7/8/10-7/11/10, MOE +/- 4%), Carly Fiorina leads three-term incumbent Barbara Boxer 47%-45%.  While other SurveyUSA polls had shown a curious quirk where the Republican leads big among young voters, that quirk is not present in this poll.  Both Republicans' leads are based in the Inland Empire region (Riverside and surrounding counties), while the Democrats fare best in the San Francisco Bay area.
