A recent poll shows Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra tied at 18% in the California governor's race, signaling a strong conservative challenge to the liberal status quo as the primary election approaches.
As California's primary election approaches, a recent poll reveals a dramatic tie between Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra, each securing 18% support among likely voters. This result signals a powerful surge for conservatives in a state long dominated by liberal elites and failed progressive policies.
Trailing closely, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a law-and-order candidate, holds 14%, while billionaire Tom Steyer, a major donor to left-wing causes, has 12%. Congresswoman Katie Porter, known for her radical progressive agenda, follows with 8%, showing limited appeal for far-left ideas even in California.
The survey, conducted by EVITARUS Research from April 30 to May 2, involved 1,200 Californians and has a margin of error of ±2.8 percentage points. These results demonstrate that Californians are increasingly dissatisfied with the direction of the state under Democratic leadership and are open to real change.
Importantly, the poll also reveals a decrease in undecided voters, dropping from 24% in March to 14%, indicating that voters are making up their minds and potentially rejecting the failed policies of the left as the election nears.
The California primary election is scheduled for June 2, with ballots being mailed to voters starting this week. The outcome could mark a turning point, offering Californians a chance to restore common sense, safety, and prosperity after years of liberal mismanagement.
