| San Diego County Not Yet Focused on Sheriff's Election, 7 Months Out: 7 months until San Diego County voters elect a sheriff, even the most likely voters have barely begun to pay attention to the contest, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KGTV-TV. 4 of 10 voters have no preference today. Among voters who do have a preference, Jim Duffy may have a slight early advantage over Bill Gore and Jay LaSuer. Gore's support is disproportionately Hispanic. LaSuer's support is disproportionately male. But Duffy's support is even across the county's white, Hispanic and Asian populations, is even across young and old, even across rich and poor, even across males and females, and strikingly even across Republicans, Democrats and Independents ... conservatives, moderates and liberals. |
| Filtering: 1,100 San Diego County adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 11/11/09 and 11/12/09. Of them 928 were registered to vote. Of them, 403 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in June 2010. |
 | If the primary for San Diego County Sheriff were today, would you vote for ... (choices rotated) Jim Duffy? Bill Gore? Jay LaSuer? Or, Bruce Ruff? |
