The race for the No. 2 spot in the March 5 primary will determine whether the November runoff is a competitive clash between two Democrats or a partisan contest.
Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Steve Garvey participate in the first California Senate debate at Bovard Auditorium at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, on Jan. 22, 2024. | Jenna Schoenefeld for POLITICOSACRAMENTO, California — Adam Schiff has a clear advantage in California’s Senate race, with fellow Democratic Rep.
Schiff, a 12-term Democrat from Burbank who has made former President Donald Trump his chief foil in the race, leads with 24 percent of likely voters; with Porter and Garvey at 19 percent and 18 percent, respectively.“Since Garvey has become a known factor in this race, he has been competitive for being the No. 2,” said Mark Baldassare, the survey director at PPIC. “But we haven’t seen an erosion of support for Porter, and she’s running ads on her own behalf, also.
Other public and private polls shared with POLITICO have shown Garvey building a second-place lead over Porter; and a larger lead for Schiff overall.
