From KMJnow:

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s lead over his Republican opponent in the race for lieutenant governor has shrunk to four percentage points, down from nine points two months ago, a Field Poll has found.

The attorney general’s race is also close. San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, a Democrat, is trailing Republican Steve Cooley by just four points among likely voters, according to the poll, released today.

With just more than a month until the election, the candidates are locked in tight races – Newsom’s and Cooley’s leads are within the poll’s 4.1 percent margin of error.

Newsom is leading current Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado 39 to 35 percent, while Cooley, Los Angeles County’s district attorney, is up 35 to 31 percent over Harris.

A large number of likely voters are undecided in both races – 26 percent in the lieutenant governor’s race, and more than one-third, 34 percent, in the attorney general contest.
