In the state's primary system, only the top two vote-getters in the June primary will advance to the November general election. This has led to the crowded field of progressive candidates vying for the roughly 60% of the vote Democrats typically secure in statewide races. The plethora of options could end up locking themselves out of the race in November if too many of them divide the vote.
Up until this week, most polls showed Riverisde County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican, and conservative commentator Steve Hilton in the top two spots.
According to the UC Berkeley-Politico poll, Hilton still holds the top spot with 19%. Steyer comes in at second with 13%, and the other candidates are trailing close behind:
Swalwell, 11%Bianco, 11%Former Rep. Katie Porter, 11%Former State Attorney General and Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, 5%"The ones that really seem to be making it through are the MSNBC stars, Eric Swalwell," said Sara Sadhwani, a politics professor at Pomona College. "They have this larger-than-life personality, but not a whole lot of accomplishments within the state of California. They've been members of Congress."
"That definitely ruffled some feathers," Sadhwani said. "Because all of the folks down at the bottom of that list that are polling low are all of the candidates of color. This caused quite a reaction in the Democratic Party last week."
"I'm usually plugged in with politics, but I think I've unplugged for a variety of reasons," Tamae said. "I'm not aware of the current polling at all. I think there are too many names. From what I understand, the field is too big. I think it needs to be culled down a little. I think then people will dial in."
