OK, so that headline should have an asterisk. Because that’s how the survey results were qualified.
The Field Poll in a recently released survey, here, says that incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (pictured, left) has a 3-point overall lead over GOP challenger Carly Fiorina (right).
What may be the first time for the Field Poll, though, is that the company took the trouble of conducting the survey in six languages and dialects, including Vietnamese. And among Viets, Boxer supposedly holds a whopping (asterisk) 32-point advantage
Conducted by telephone from June 22 to July 5, the pollsters talked to 1,390 registered voters, of whom 1,005 are considered likely to vote in the upcoming November general election. The survey was conducted in English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and Vietnamese.
The published results (on page 5) shows that among Vietnamese-American likely voters, 55% prefer Boxer, 23% prefer Fiorina, and 22% are undecided or have other choices.
The results for Viets, however, came with an asterisk, and the * says: “Small sample base.” The table shows that Viets account for only 2% of the survey sample.
Over the past sixteen months The Field Poll has conducted five statewide surveys pairing Boxer and Fiorina in the Senate contest. While Boxer is still ahead, that’s a far cry from the 30-point advantage she once enjoyed back in March of 2009.
The candidate preference question, asked only of likely voters, was: “In the election this year for U.S. Senate, Republican Carly Fiorina is running against Democrat Barbara Boxer. If the election were being held today, for whom would you vote for U.S. Senate – Republican Carly Fiorina or Democrat Barbara Boxer?”
Boxer is a Democrat and an extreme liberal at that….Has the tide already changed?
Are the viet voters tired of the old GOP’s tactic in charging the other side as communist?
Are viet voters finally realized they have been duped by the fake republican politicians? Are they finally tired of the bickering among the dirty republican goons? tired of the frauds, the drunk driving, the public display of childish behavior?
Viet republican candidates take note. ‘Fool me once shame on you, shame me twice shame on me’.
I don’t know who you polled but I’m Vietnamese-American and I like to see Sen. Boxer to go home for her political involvement in gay, abortion rather than the California residents. Sen. Boxer did not do anything in the last 30 years, and at the last minute she saw herself vulnerable, hence, she tried to campaign a little bit to sooth the pain that
Californians suffered with small projects to provide jobs for a few hundred people.
I agree with you. I do not like her pandering on the gay and the minority groups.
As the law has been evolved in the last few decades, the gay and the minority groups no longer the less privilege class.
Boxer = BAD
3% = margin of error
Bo May,
Why do you have to use this post as an excuse to bash on your own Viet leaders? So petty and small of you. Jealousy runs deep in your veins.
But Viet Republicans keep winning and winning. Does that make you even more jealous and mad? Yes, yes. You at just seting with envy.
Idiot Bo May is an anti Viet, anti Viet family and an anti Viet tradition/culture.
Bo May = Damaged Banana
To The Jealous:
If the commies won the war in 75 (regardless of how they did it) does that mean they are the good guys?
California need Carly, she’s defenitely have my vote!
California doesn’t need the government to raise any more taxes, Boxer need to go!
Viet tradition/ culture has good and bad sides.
Bad: Inferior-superior complex, childish behavior, cursing and spitting in public, illusion of grandeur, bias, racist.
Good: Resiliency, nurturing and fostering through strong family value.
I saw the bad sides in most of the viet candidates and their supporters.
We see more BAD sides in Loretta Sanchez than all Viet elected officials put together.
As matter of fact, we have many good Viets in leadership!
Go Mr. Van Tran
Go Viets!
I definitely won’t vote Republican anymore and neither will most Vietnamese people in Little Saigon or across the nation for that matter. The times have changed. And the old conservative anti communists religious fanatics are getting angrier as they see the change.
I will vote for the young viet republicans whom I believe will lead the fragile viet community out of the agrarian political dark age.
Corrupted republicans need no apply.
As for the Democrats; I will vote for the young candidates, those who never in cahoot with these mofo’s: The ACLU, La Raza, NAACP, Al Sharpton, Jerimiah Wright, Jesse Jackson,Eric Holder, Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, Joe Biden, Van Jones,
bo may, what do you have against jerimiah wright?
Jose s:
Oh, I forgot to add Louis Farakhan to the list of the ultra lefts whom I dislike the most…Only the cowards use the race cards to work for their cause and to line their pockets.
(Did I answer your question?)
It is Jeremiah (typo, sorry)
We should never vote for any of baby killing Pelosi clan ………… including Loretta Sanchez.
Pelosi, Loretta = BAD!
And we should never vote for van tran, his low moral activities make the viet community looks bad….real bad.
Corrupted republicans need no apply.
Jealous anti Viet Bo May idiot do not have to eat crap here.
All Viets are voting for Mr. Van Tran
Mr. Van Tran = good!

Bo May.
Maybe you should kneel before the god van tran and say “I am your servant and I will be a good sucker for you”. lmao! tran may grant you a wish and you won’t get hit by a truck.
Just because you are doing it means others must do it.

To ‘need to suck’: Keep going with your rants
Sorry to tell you that, the more you try to insult me, which has no effect whatsoever, the more you put away all van tran’s hope for a bid in November election.
You are doing a great service to that Mexican broad.
IZ van tran still a cult?
You guys remind me very much of the Louis Farrakhan and his Muslim underlings, different skin colors, same mentality, same thuggish demeanor, same trash talks, same lowlife attitude.
See what happens in Oakland? What happens in East LA? What happens in Detroit? See what the black mofo political figures did to their constituents, same sh!t all over while they are lining their pockets.
There will be more frauds, more prostitution, more drunk driving, more embezzlements, more bickering among the mofo politicians….in that little cesspool called little-saigon of yours. LOL
Hi Bo May. nobody mistakes you for a van tran hater. you hate lots of viets on this blog. you are a racist. why people you hate keep winning big? you don’t like to kneel, bow, suck (may be you do but not dare say out loud?), but you still are a low life.
Now I got it!!! Bo May likes to swallow. this ugly creature bm is a bigot who is anti-Viets.
To ‘need to suck’: Why the black mofo candidates keep winning big in Oakland?
No mistake you are just a low life little rants who never grow up and grow out of that little cesspool, flyover spot on the map, little-saigon town.
Bo May has little hair stuck between his teeth now …….ha ha ha!
Bo May is finally off from Big Loser Loretta’s sagging milk nipples.
Bo May wants to be spanked here ….daily!
Bo May = Diseased /yearning for verbal and physical abuse
Bo May = Anti Viet Sicko!
To ‘ need to suck’:
There you go again, sound exactly like the blacks in Oakland. Will you guys go down to the Bolsa burning cars and wreck windows if van tran get voted out in November? LOL
(a lot of viet voters are so tired of van tran now, young viet voters are switching to the demo side)
To ‘kimmy’ and ‘need to suck’:
See what happens in Oakland? What happens in East LA? What happens in Detroit? See what the black mofo political figures did to their constituents, same sh!t all over while they are lining their pockets.
There will be more frauds, more prostitution, more drunk driving, more embezzlements, more bickering among the mofo politicians, more money lining van tran pockets….

Hi Bo May. van tran is your god and you need to suck him, instead of sticking your nose up loretta’s. you so stupiiiddd. lmao!!
Enough with the sucking! Don’t you suckers have any better tricks for me?
Calling people stupid and dumb at every post certainly does not help to make one smart.
Bo May Idiot, ……and falsely believing you are not dumb doesn’t change the fact that you are really stupid!
Hahahahah, double that for Jung Kim.
……….and triple that for joe mama Loretta!
Loretta = Fried!
Kimmy, stop barking and concentrate on the sucking!
Bo May, joe mama Loretta’s milk bag is empty…… she has been already sucked by you.
Loretta = Fried
Kimmy, why didn’t you listening to me? Stop barking and concentrate on the sucking!
Tell joe mama anti Viet Loretta to fill up her sagging milk tank.
Loretta = Fried
Kimmy, you’ve lost your concentration. Your sucking is suck!
So Kimmy sucks, may be Bo May can do a better job sucking Van Tran. Bloggers already know that Bo May is a good brownoser. That’s awesome man.
