Summary

Xavier Becerra surges ahead in California’s gubernatorial primary, leading with 28% in a new poll, as billionaire Tom Steyer (22%) and conservative Steve Hilton (21%) battle for second place under the state’s open primary system. Becerra dominates among Democrats, Hispanics, and women, while Hilton locks in the Republican vote at 59%. Steyer appeals to younger and white voters. With 75% of voters locked in, the race hinges on the remaining 25% — especially under-30s and undecideds — who could decide the runoff spot. Election day looms with high stakes.
