Becerra Settles Into Front-Runner Posture in CA Governor Race
TL;DR
A Berkeley IGS poll shows Xavier Becerra leading California’s governor race with 25% to Steve Hilton’s 21% and Tom Steyer’s 19%, suggesting Becerra would be the prohibitive favorite if the top-two primary yielded a general election against Hilton. The results echo a separate PPIC poll, with Steyer narrowing the gap as he spends heavily. The data imply two Democrats are likely to advance to the runoff, not two Republicans, while Porter and Mahan remain far back.
