Becerra’s surge—up nine points since last survey—has him strong with Democrats, Hispanics, and women, while Hilton dominates the GOP. Steyer’s path to the runoff hinges on energizing young voters. With 5% still undecided and a 3-point margin of error, the race for second place between Steyer and Hilton remains wide open. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
