As we are only days away from election day, many races in the country remain incredibly tight. The 2010 election for California Governor was one of them until recently. The most recent election polls have indicated that Jerry Brown may be well on his way to being Governor of California once again. The man, who led the state in the late 70′s and early 80′s, will be back in office for his 3rd term come January, if recent poll results are to be believed.

Three of the most recent election polls have Brown leading Republican Meg Whitman by fairly large margins, margins which Whitman will have a difficult time overcoming in the short time before election day. Poll results released today, by CNN/Time, indicate that Jerry Brown has a 51-44 lead over Meg Whitman. Two other polls released yesterday, one by Survey USA, and another by Public Policy Polling, have shown Brown leading 48-38, and 53-42 respectively.

Sure a lot can change in the next few days, however, when a large number of polls all indicate the same thing, less than a week prior to the election, it’s fairly easy to make an educated guess that Brown will beat Whitman out for the California Governor’s spot.

Whitman got off to a great start, however, recent allegations that she may have hired illegal immigrants to work for her in the past, has hurt the former Ebay CEO, who already lacks experience in politics. Brown on the other hand, has as much experience for the position as one can get, being an ex-governor of the state. Having said this, California, which is in a bit of a financial mess itself, could used someone with business experience to the likes of Whitman.
