Our Recommendation: Vote for One of the Three Top-Polling Democrats for California Governor
The race for governor has taken a dramatic turn since Eric Swalwell exited from the race for California governor.
Here’s the California Democratic Party’s latest tracking poll update, published Monday, April 20. The current top three Democrats are:
Xavier Becerra, 13% (up from 4% on April 5)
Tom Steyer, 13% (up from 11% on April 5)
Katie Porter, 10% (up from 7% on April 5)
Both maga candidates remain in the top two positions at 16% and 14% respectively. The closest bottom-tier Dem candidate came in at 5%. The CADEM poll was conducted April 15-17 of 1,200 likely voters with a margin of error rate of plus/minus 2.8%
As you may have heard by now, Betty Yee, tracking at 1%, has dropped out of the race, diminishing even further the chances of two magas wedging out a Democrat for the two top slots.
We thank Ms. Lee for doing the right thing for our party and our state, and for being a longtime friend of the SLOCDP. We call on other candidates in similar positions to do the same.
While the numbers will continue to move from now until mail ballots start going out the first week of May, the SLOCDP’s recommendation remains the same …
