Becerra widens lead to 22 points as PPIC poll shows California voters split on billionaire tax
A new Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) poll shows Democrat Xavier Becerra widening his lead over Republican Steve Hilton to 22 points in the November gubernatorial race. While Becerra holds a commanding advantage among likely voters, the same survey reveals a divided electorate on the controversial billionaire wealth tax, with majorities supporting both the tax and measures to invalidate it.
