"The survey of 1,000 likely voters, which occurred on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, marks the first independent poll since San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan entered the fray late last month. Mahan, a moderate Democrat who raked in more than $7 million in his first week largely from tech titans and the ultra-rich was at the back of the pack with 3.4% support. Hilton, one of two Republicans in the race, saw his support increase by five points since Emerson College's last poll in December."
"The United Kingdom-born businessman currently leads the field at 17.1%, followed by Swalwell at 14.1%, who saw a two-point bump since the last poll. The other Republican in the race, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, was third with 13.5%, followed by former Rep. Katie Porter at 9.8% and billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer with 8.8%. Porter's support decreased by one point since December, while Steyer saw a five-point increase. 21% of voters are still undecided, according to the poll."
"When people see the clear contrast between 16 years of Democrat one party rule that have given us the highest poverty, highest unemployment and highest cost of living in America and Steve Hilton's positive, practical Califordable' plan: $3.00 gas, cutting electric bills in half, your first $100 grand tax free, a home you can afford to buy, Steve's message wins hands down, Hilton said."
An Emerson College poll of 1,000 likely California voters conducted Feb. 13-14 shows Steve Hilton leading the gubernatorial field at 17.1%, followed by Rep. Eric Swalwell at 14.1% and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco at 13.5%. Former Rep. Katie Porter and Tom Steyer register 9.8% and 8.8%, respectively, while San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan trails at 3.4% after a late entry and sizable early fundraising. Hilton's support rose five points since December and Swalwell gained two points; Steyer increased five points and Porter's support fell one point. Hilton warned Bianco could split the Republican vote and potentially allow two Democrats into the November runoff. Twenty-one percent of voters remain undecided under California's top-two jungle primary system.
