"The latest Emerson poll is a stark contrast from Tuesday's SurveyUSA poll, which showed Steyer leading with 21% of the vote and Hilton in second with 18%. The SurveyUSA poll still included disgraced ex-Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who resigned from Congress this week amid sexual misconduct and rape allegations."
"Following Trump's endorsement, Steyer, who has been blanketing the airwaves with ads, jumped above Bianco, leading many observers to argue the race was his to lose if he and Hilton advance to the general."
"In the first Emerson poll since Eric Swalwell's departure from the race for Governor, Democrats now split their vote between Tom Steyer (20%), Xavier Becerra (19%), and Katie Porter (15%), with Becerra gaining 15 points among Democrats without Swalwell on the ballot."
The latest Emerson poll shows Republican candidates Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco leading the California gubernatorial race with 17% and 14% of the vote, respectively. Billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer also garnered 14%. Trump's endorsement of Hilton has boosted his support, while Steyer's advertising efforts have increased his visibility. The departure of Eric Swalwell from the race has allowed other Democrats, like Xavier Becerra, to gain traction. Becerra's support increased significantly, reflecting a shift in the Democratic vote following Swalwell's exit.
