There has been hilariously little movement in this race through all of the polling.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Come on, Loretta!

[IceSpear]

I hope whichever of Harris/Sanchez loses comes back in 2018, assuming DiFi retires.

Plenty of other CA Democrats I would prefer to see over Sanchez.

[Nyvin]

What's kinda funny is even if you add up the top three Republican's numbers it still doesn't match Sanchez's number in the poll....lol.

California Republicans should be ashamed. If Kevin Faulconer had ran, this race may have been different.

California gets what they deserve. Expect low turnout (in the general)

This being the Year of Trump, I think we'll see Latino turnout boost dramatically, which makes the race Advantage Sanchez.

[publicunofficial]

I think people overestimate how much Republicans will care to look at Sanchez/Harris' positions and realize which one is more conservative. A lot of them will just vote for who they recognize, or maybe just leave it blank.

Also the idea that "Anti-PC" is now a voting bloc that matters and can win Sanchez votes is laughable.


My prediction: Harris starts out leading, and never looks back.

  One reason California has never had an Hispanic senator is because until the last few decades they were a small percentage of the electorate, and an even smaller share of influential people who would be the types to become senators.  Add in the fact that we have the Feinstein/Boxer monopoly for 25 years and it totally makes sense, as they have held the seats during the emergence of the Hispanic plurality in California.
