For whatever reason, Newsom's pollster conducted yet another poll and released it just a couple of weeks after the last one, perks of having a lot of money I guess

Newsom (D) - 29% (+3)
Cox (R) - 16% (NC)
Allen (R) - 13% (+3)
Chiang (D) - 9% (-4)
Villaraigosa (D) - 7% (-5)
Estin (D) - 2% (-5)
Renteria (D) - 2% (-2)

Seems maybe undecideds went up? idk

[Sir Mohamed]

Great poll. I want this to be Newsom versus Cox in November. Villaraigosa's collapse is real.

U wot.

But Atlas told me it would be D v D no matter what?

It seems there will never be a real contest for Governor. Haven't seen an interesting Gov election here since 2003. Curious given all the problems the state has.

Cox isn’t a real candidate lmao, Newsom will crush him by 30 points.

The state of Cali has rapidly improved since 2010 (which is when they killed all of their republicans).

Stop buying into the gop spin about cali. It's a very strong state even with the honeless population problem.

It's true that under Brown we have a budget surplus. However there is the homeless problem, the housing problem, the state pension fund and the bullet train that is way over budget. There are still issues that need to be resolved.

No doubt about it. But the state is in a far better place than it was 8 years ago, when California seemed to be completely in the sh**tter.

Chiang vs. any Republican would be the ideal matchup.

[pikachu]

I'm skeptical of the poll. Obviously Newsom's ideal scenario is him versus a Republcan, and I have no idea what would've happened to make Villaigrossa drop to fifth and for there to be 13 point net loss among Democratic candidates since his last internal.

[I’m not Stu]

Newsom is afraid of facing another Democrat because he could lose. Newsom wants a D vs. R runoff so he can easily win. The poll is a Newsom internal.

That's definitely suspect. Other than the debates, I can't think of anything that would make the polls shift in this way. Chiang, Villaraigosa, and Eastin are all down by at least 4 since the last time? Something's rotten in the state of California. (It's this poll)
