A poll by the Los Angeles Times showed that incumbent Sen. Dianne Feinstein maintains a strongly lead over her likely Republican challenger, the still relatively unknown Rep. Tom Campbell. Campbell made news recently for suggesting that individuals already addicted to drugs like heroin should receive a legal supply, in order to reduce the illicit market and resultant crime.

The Times poll found that likely voters would disapprove 60% to 39% of such a proposal and would be less likely to vote for a candidate who floated it. The poll did not identify Campbell as the source of the proposal.

Dale Gieringer of the Drug Policy Forum of California has pointed out that 39% is "[n]ot a bad showing for such a supposedly politically unthinkable proposition."

The Los Angeles Times poll was published on March 3, and can be found online at http://www.latimes.com/timespoll/.
