California governor’s race: Poll finds Becerra and Hilton leading field with vote days away

DEMOCRAT XAVIER BECERRA and Republican Steve Hilton are holding on to the lead in the latest poll ahead of the California governor election. 

That’s according to the Public Policy Institute of California, which surveyed 986 likely voters earlier this month. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed (23%) said they’d vote for Becerra, followed by Hilton at 20%, Tom Steyer at 15%, Chad Bianco at 13% and Katie Porter at 12%.
