Barack Obama appears destined for the largest California victory of any presidential candidate since World War II, potentially boosting prospects for Democratic candidates statewide.

In a new state Field Poll, the presidential ticket of Obama and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden leads Republican John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin by 55 percent to 33 percent.

If the margin stands on Nov. 4, Obama will rack up a California landslide more lopsided than that of Democrat Lyndon Johnson in 1964 or Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984.

Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo said the sample of 966 likely California voters taken one week before Election Day shows gains for Obama amid intense dissatisfaction with President Bush and increasingly negative voter impressions of McCain and Palin.

2. 33% is way too high. I expect that to drop to the 20s by next week. nt

3. My final prediction for CA is Obama 62% McCain 35% third parties split the rest.

6. May I add my please to this?!! Also

Please please please, even if Obama wins while CA polls are still open, go to the polls and vote NO on the prop 8.

8. and no on 4 as well please, we've voted that down 3 times already?

[terrya]

9. Indeed. Please vote no on Prop 4.

Absolutely.

5. It would be great to see Obama hit 60 in CA

I'm a little doubtful the margin will be that high, but then again CA's Dem margin has always been higher than OR and WA, and both are showing 15+ point leads....so it is possible.
