Arnie gets strong support for governor role

HOLLYWOOD superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger is in his strongest position yet in his bid to become the next Governor of California, a poll has revealed.

The muscle-bound Republican would win 40% of the vote, way ahead of closest rival Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, a Democrat with the support of 25% of voters.

The opportunity to appoint the Terminator star will only be given to the people of California if they choose to recall or remove from office current governor, Democrat Gray Davis.
