A new poll found Kamala Harris would be a top candidate if she decides to run in California's 2026 gubernatorial election.

A new poll found Kamala Harris would be a top candidate if she decides to run in California's 2026 gubernatorial election.Harris hasn't announced any plans, but a new poll asks Californians if they would consider Harris if she were were to run for"She not only has a very high level of name recognition, but a great deal of residual support," USC Annenberg School of Communication professor Dan Schnur said.

When asked about Harris, she jumps to the top with 33% of respondents saying very likely to support her and 13% saying somewhat likely. "I would view these numbers as reasonably encouraging for the Vice President," UC Berkeley IGS Professor of Political Science Eric Schickler said. "It suggests that the race, with her out of the race, is really wide open."

Harris was the San Francisco County district attorney then moved on to statewide office as attorney general. She was a U.S. senator for four years when she became vice president. Harris has not said what happens next. A run for governor would likely not be easy. "If she were to run, I mean, there certainly are a number of formidable Democratic candidates in the race, and so she would have to you know, be ready, for you know, some serious opposition within the party," Schickler said."This race will be underway by early next year, and while she has more time available, it's not an indefinite amount of time," Schnur said.
