He should be able to manage a three way tie for third.

Why has this race been polled more than the OR one

Finally a quality poll of CA. Do you have the full data for viewing? I want to see if they polled Poizner v Lara.

But some junk polls nobody ever's heard of told me this was a close race!

While this is still a safe race for the Democrats, I start to believe Newsom will not outperform Brown 2014. I could see this ending up 57-43%.

I actually for a second thought this was "Cox ahead" and laughed to myself.

lol tender, nice trolling

This is a bit more believable, but I still think he breaks 60%.

Being a big state, California has its in-state pollsters that regularly poll the state, close race or not. Oregon doesn't.

Plus, ABC7 paid SurveyUSA to poll California. Perhaps the Portland, Eugene and Bend TV stations don't want to spend the money to poll.

Junk poll!

This is a tilt D race, closer to Lean than tossup.

But I thought OR and CA were going to go Republican along with NV, causing the Republican West realignment!!!!

If Cox gets over 40% in a Trump midterm that's a decent accomplishment.

"Progressive" California is voting for a DLC member for governor, someone who voted for the Bush tax cuts for senator, and a gas tax repeal funded by the national Republican leadership.

Here's the full poll with crosstabs for everything. Unfortunately they did not poll the Insurance Commissioner's race. http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=85614f00-b105-4f49-a6e5-630e246d8d52

Prop 6 polling has been erratic, especially from SurveyUSA. I'm convinced it's entirely to do with how they ask the question:

"Proposition 6, a constitutional amendment which would repeal gasoline and diesel taxes, and vehicle fees, that were enacted in 2017 and would require any future fuel taxes be approved by voters. A YES vote on Prop 6 would repeal fuel tax increases that were enacted in 2017, including the Road Repaid and Accountability Act of 2017. A NO vote on Prop 6 would keep the fuel taxes imposed in 2017 by the California legislature in place, and would allow the legislature to impose whatever fees and taxes it approved in the future, provided 2/3 of the CA House and 2/3 of the CA Senate approved. On Proposition 6, how do you vote?"


Yet, in polls that use the official ballot language about "certain road repair and transportation funding", Prop 6 support collapses.
