In California, size matters, and it's beginning to look like Ahnold's just come out of the cold, cold Pacific.

Continuing a trend that began in January, 53 percent of registered California voters said they do not approve of Schwarzenegger's performance. That's a jump of 18 percentage points since February.

The biggest decline came among Democrats and nonpartisan voters, but the poll also found Schwarzenegger's support among Republican voters has fallen.

Billmon, I think, has the most profound yet concise take.
