Becerra widens lead over other Democrats in California gubernatorial race
The latest Public Policy Institute of California poll shows Becerra at 23% and Hilton at 20%, with Steyer trailing as Democrats close ranks.
- On Wednesday, a Public Policy Institute poll showed Democrat Xavier Becerra leading California's gubernatorial race with 23% support, followed by Republican Steve Hilton at 20% as the June 2 primary approaches.
- California's 'top-two' primary system allows the two highest vote-getters to advance regardless of party, creating volatility that once raised Democratic fears of a Republican 'lockout' before recent consolidation around Becerra and Hilton.
- Trailing the leaders, billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer holds 15% support, followed by Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco at 13% and former Democrat Katie Porter at 12%, creating a crowded five-candidate tier.
- Traders on prediction markets favor a Democratic win in the November general election, though they price Hilton as competitive for a runoff spot; his path to statewide victory remains narrow given California's Democratic advantage.
- With the June 2 primary election just days away, campaigns are making final pushes to consolidate support, knowing small shifts in turnout or late-deciding voters could still determine which two candidates advance to November.
