The San Francisco-based Field Poll has released a survey for publication Saturday on the state controller's race. The results are embargoed, so we can't share any of the findings.
But we can say that one of the candidates that Field asked voters about was an "Ashley Swearenger," described in the poll's release Friday afternoon as the Republican mayor of Fresno.
A couple hours after its first release, Field came out with a corrected version that made it clear the candidate in question is Ashley Swearengin, who is indeed Fresno's mayor.
Although Swearengin's name was spelled correctly in the new release, the accompanying email explaining the correction said:
It has come to our attention that the Field Poll we released earlier today contained an unfortunate, incorrect spelling of Fresno Mayor Askley Swearengin's name. We apologize for this error and have made revisions to the report.
"Askley." Uh huh.
