What's the turnout looking like in Calif? I'm in Ga. and I'm not hearing

LOS ANGELES -- As the Democratic gubernatorial candidates took to the streets in search of votes Monday, the Field Poll predicted today's balloting will produce the lowest voter turnout of any statewide election in California history.

The survey estimated 5.3 million Californians will cast ballots in today's primary election, or just 34 percent of those registered. That would be fewer than one in four of those who are adult citizens and eligible to vote.

"It's a continuation of the really low turnout for gubernatorial primaries that you have seen over the last 20 years," said Mark DiCamillo, Field Poll director. "But this would be an all-time low."

Up to now, the previous low came in 2002, when 34.6 percent of registered voters cast ballots. That year, 24.6 percent of those eligible voted.
