The story that the California media doesn't want you to know: Gray Davis is in big trouble. The only poll that's been publicized has been the Field Poll, because it's apparently the only one that shows him ahead.

The problem is, the Field Poll doesn't poll likely voters. It polls registered voters. And even then a majority don't support Davis. When an incumbent can't get majority support from registered voters, its time to start polishing up the ol' resume.

Was there ever a politician whose name fit so well? First his personality, then his energy policy, now his re-election prospects.
