Now that he's desperate, Gray Davis is trying to appeal to core Democrats

Davis' early promises to govern down the middle have not always served him well, according to a recent poll. Some 58 percent of voters who describe themselves as "middle of the road" politically want to see him out of office, according to the most recent Field Poll. People who describe themselves as "liberal" oppose the recall by 78 percent to 18 percent.
