Field Poll: expect 65% turnout

The Field Poll estimates a huge turnout, the highest number ever for a governor's race and the highest percentage of registered voters for a governor's race in 20 years:

“In today’s historic recall election The Field Poll estimates that as many as ten million California voters will be participating in the decision as to who they want as governor for the next three years. A turnout of this magnitude would represent a 30% increase over the 7.7 million voters who participated in the 2002 gubernatorial election and would be larger than any previous non-presidential contest in state history.”

Look for the whole thing here later this morning.
