Men, women, whites, Hispanics and independent voters all are divided about evenly between Brown and Whitman.
The poll also shows Whitman with slightly more support in Los Angeles County, which is a traditional Democratic stronghold. Brown is strongest in the San Francisco Bay area.
The poll surveyed 857 registered voters from Sept. 14 to Sept. 1 and has a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points.
