Becerra Holds Commanding Edge in California Governor’s Race as November Looms
TL;DR
Democrat Xavier Becerra leads Republican Steve Hilton 52% to 31% in the general-election match‑up, per a UC Berkeley IGS/L.A. Times poll of 8,578 registered voters (May 19–24, margin ±2%). Democrats’ loyalty and Becerra’s surge after Swalwell’s exit anchor a traditional, partisan race in which Hilton’s Trump endorsement helps him with GOP voters but is unlikely to close the statewide gap ahead of November.
