6. 23% Undecided. I'd wager those are mainly Democratic voters . . .

At 17% and 14% for the two Republicans, that's almost the full Republican vote in California, 31%. Most of the rest will split between the Democrats.

A lot of the people I've spoken with at various campaign events in recent weeks are undecided on which Democrat they'll support. Most seem to be waiting to make a decision when the ballots arrive, and then they'll try to make the most effective vote. It won't surprise me if we end up with two Democrats in the general election.
