Becerra Gains Momentum in CA Governor Race, Leading Hilton in New Poll
TL;DR Summary
A June Institute of Governmental Studies poll shows Xavier Becerra leading California’s governor race, with 52% of the general electorate backing Becerra and 31% supporting Republican Steve Hilton; billionaire Tom Steyer trails. The poll also finds broad left-leaning support for Becerra (including progressives), a favorable rating for Becerra at about 44%, and stronger appeal to moderates and Latinos, helping him outperform Hilton even in persuadable areas like Orange County and the Central Valley. About 17% of voters remain undecided. If elected, Becerra would be California’s first Latino governor in more than 150 years.
