SAN DIEGO (SDJW) — A U-T/10News poll shows District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis leading challengers Bob Brewer and Terry Wyatt respectively by a margin of 44-27-6 with a whopping 22 percent of the voters undecided. A story by Mark Walker quote Jay Leve, founder and editor of Survey USA, saying if the undecided voters split in the same percentages as those already decided, Dumanis may be able to avoid a runoff election en route to a fourth term. … In another U-T article, reporter Kristina Davis said Dumanis once attempted suicide in what Dumanis described as a delayed reaction to the death of her sister at a factory explosion. The article also said the D.A. once considered a career as a rabbi, and that her election as DA in 2002 was the first in the nation for an openly gay candidate.
