CNN/TIME/ORC has a new poll of four states out today. Here’s a link to my story. Short version:

Alaska:
Senate: Lisa Murkowski’s becoming a real threat to Joe Miller in polls — but that doesn’t mean these people know how to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I come Nov. 2. Governor: GOP incumbent Sean Parnell is winning.

California:
Senate & Governor: Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown are both leading Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman 9 points each.

Florida:
Senate: Conservative Marco Rubio pulls ahead of Independent Charlie Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek. Rubio: 42%, Crist 31%, Meek 23%. Governor: What’s going on with Democrat Alex Sink? Why is she losing to Rick Scott — the guy most GOP strategists said couldn’t win — 45% to 47%?

Illinois:
Holy outside candidates, Batman! In the Senate race, Democrat Alexis Giannoulias is leading Republican Mark Kirk 43% to 42% with Green candidate LeAlan Jones drawing 8% of the vote. Governor: Republican Bill Brady leads 40% to Democrat Pat Qunn’s 38% and two Dem third party candidates are drawing a whopping 18% of the vote.
