California Governor's race [View all]

So, there are 2 main Republicans running, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco. Currently, combined they are splitting the Republican vote two ways.

So far 8 or 9 Democrats are splitting the remaining vote along with undecideds.

If the primary were held today, the top two finishers who would advance to the general would be Republicans. No Democratic candidate is polling higher than either of the two Republicans.

The primary is 4 months out and the only ads I’ve seen are for Tom Steyer who is polling at 8%

As of February 4:

Bianco(R) 17%
Hilton(R). 14%
Porter(D) 11%
Swalwell(D) 11%
Steyer(D) 8%
(Source abc10.com, David Binder polling)
I really hope one of our Democratic candidates starts to pull ahead.
