"In the Emerson poll released Wednesday, Swalwell's support increased among Democratic voters in the past month from 23% to 27%, while Steyer's support also increased, from 12% to 16%. The poll showed Swalwell with 17%, Hilton with 13%, Steyer and Bianco with 11%, Katie Porter with 8%, Mahan, Anthony Villaraigosa and Xavier Becerra at 3%, Betty Yee at 2% and Tony Thurmond at 1%."
"Mahan, who stunned the field early last month by raising $7 million and captured national attention with a PAC-funded Super Bowl ad, remained optimistic, as the numbers of undecided voters returned to 25%. Mahan told media last week that there was plenty of time for candidates to make a mark, noting 'people are just starting to tune in.'"
"Democratic Party leaders must have breathed a little easier after Wednesday's release of the latest statewide poll that showed two Democrats, Rep. Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer, gaining ground at the expense of Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco. The June 4 top-two open primary is less than three months away."
An Emerson College poll conducted March 7-9 shows significant movement in the California governor's race, with Democratic candidates Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer gaining ground at the expense of Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco. Swalwell's support increased from 23% to 27% among Democratic voters, while Steyer rose from 12% to 16%. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, who raised $7 million and aired a Super Bowl ad, polled at 3%, tied with Anthony Villaraigosa and Xavier Becerra. The June 4 top-two open primary approaches in less than three months. Despite low polling numbers, Mahan remains optimistic, noting undecided voters returned to 25% and that candidates still have time to make an impact as voters begin paying attention.
