props up failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris as a front-runner for the 2026 California gubernatorial race.Vice President Kamala Harris may benefit from some name recognition in a potentially crowded field, and has the support of many Democrat voters in the state.“Nearly all voters in this state have an opinion of her, and that’s really the big advantage that she brings to an early poll,”Mark DiCamillo, the director of the Berkeley IGS Poll.
“Still, the poll suggests that Californians could be less supportive of Harris running for governor compared with her run for president this year,” thereported of the poll, pointing out that Harris won the state by 59 percent in the 2024 presidential race.Democrats are unsurprisingly more supportive than Republicans of Harris running for governor.
Separate from the survey’s question about Harris, voters were asked to choose their first and second favorites from a long list of potential candidates. DiCamillo noted that voter opinions about Harris and other candidate cannot be compared because poll respondents were not asked to pick between them.
So far, U.S. Rep. Katie Porter , who has not announced whether she is running, leads as the first or second choice of 13 percent of voters. She is followed by two Republicans said to be considering campaigns, including Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and Sen, Brian Dahle , who ran against Newsom in 2022.
