"A new independent poll finds Rep. Eric Swalwell overtaking Republican Chad Bianco, which is good news for those of us who don't want a Republican v. Republican governor's race. It seems that Congressman Eric Swalwell has, since announcing his candidacy in November, gained some traction with California voters, despite the fact that this governor's race feels very drowned out by national news lately."
"A new Emerson College poll finds Swalwell up by two percentage points from the last poll, at 14.1%, with Republican Steve Hilton holding on to his lead and surging further ahead, at 17.1%. Former Congresswoman Katie Porter sits at 9.8%, with her support sliding by one point since a December poll. Tom Steyer is at 8.8%, and recently announced candidate Matt Mahan, the mayor of San Jose, sits at 3.4%."
"Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who would probably like to see ICE on every street corner across the state and some more buildings named after Trump, sits at 13.5% still, alarmingly, just six-tenths of a percent behind Swalwell. But a Democrat any Democrat really! gaining traction in the race is good news, because a month ago it was beginning to look like a real possibility"
An Emerson College poll shows Rep. Eric Swalwell at 14.1%, overtaking Republican Chad Bianco at 13.5%, narrowing the gap in the crowded California governor's primary. Republican Steve Hilton leads at 17.1%, with former Congresswoman Katie Porter at 9.8% and Tom Steyer at 8.8%. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan registers 3.4%. Swalwell's support rose two percentage points since the previous poll, while Porter's slipped one point. A Democratic candidate gaining traction reduces the likelihood of two Republicans finishing as the top vote-getters and thereby handing the governorship to a Republican. Hilton has fundraising advantages and a background as a UK-born former adviser to David Cameron and Fox contributor.
