Katie Porter was the biggest beneficiary of Kamala Harris passing on a run for California governor, according to a new poll from POLITICO and its partners, with the former representative now holding a commanding lead in the race.
Thirty percent of registered voters who said they’d vote for Harris if she ran for governor now plan to support Porter, the latest POLITICO-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab survey found. Sixteen percent of Harris supporters said former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was their second choice, while 11 percent said their new favored candidate was former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
Porter’s “gains from Harris are probably a combination of just being better known and having a clear ideological stamp,” said Jack Citrin, a political science professor at UC Berkeley and partner on the poll. “She has a particular progressive stamp — more than the other two guys — and I think that’s part of her appeal.”
Porter led in a head-to-head poll against her competitors in the Harris-less field, netting 21 percent of voters. Becerra and Villaraigosa tied as the next leading Democrats, pulling 9 percent support each. The results quantify Porter’s edge in the sprawling Democratic field, which she buttressed in the first half of the year with field-best fundraising numbers.
She attracted the most support from white and Asian voters, and from respondents who ranked housing as their top policy concern. Porter likely benefited from running for Senate last year against Adam Schiff, drawing news coverage and viewers of campaign ads when the governor’s race was barely underway, Citrin said. That’s especially important since the possibility of a Harris campaign dominated the governor’s race for months.
“Visibility is a big factor in a low-information environment,” Citrin said.

The land of Reagan
OMG!! The land of FRUITS, NUTS and IFIOTS!
We should change the name of California to Retardo Land. We can put a big sign in the hills.
Was she the candidate that did the porn flick? Or something perverse like that?
>> “Visibility is a big factor in a low-information environment,” Citrin said.
...and a low-information environment is a big factor in the dysfunctional polity that is California. (And elsewhere in the US as well.)
Katie Hill.
From one porta potty to another. But calibs.
Ugh what a choice. All 3 are a straight up nightmare. We need a on Ca Eastern border, sorry Jim.

Enjoy the suck, CA, you’ve earned it.
“We can put a big sign in the hills.”
It had better be big - we’d have to fit Spanish, Hindi, and English on it.
Wasn’t this the Congresswoman who was in a trouble?
Isn’t she guilty of domestic violence? Democrat select people with domestic violence?
Porter is such a nasty woman. She looks like she would emit a foul and unpleasant odor.
Just so. I’m telling you from here on the ground deep behind enemy lines that the drone electorate doesn’t know who these people are. I have no idea who they polled to get what they think are statistically valid results
I doubt it. Woof!:
“So, on election night, I went to pick up my daughter from water polo practice, and she's 12, and she sat in the car, and she was crying,” Porter recalled.
Porter went on to say that after seeing her daughter crying, she asked her if someone “punched” her, quipping that “water polo is a rough sport.” As her co-panellists laughed, the Democrat continued, “I was like, ‘Did someone hit you? Did the coach yell at you? What happened?’” before revealing that her daughter said, “Mom, Trump won… Trump's gonna win, and what if I get raped and I need to have an abortion.”
Water polo?
She’d have to sneak up on a glass of water to get a drink.
More about her:
April 13 2023
California Representative Katie Porter was accused of domestic violence by her ex-husband after allegedly pouring a pot of scalding mashed potatoes over her then-husband’s head, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Matthew Hoffman filed for divorce from Porter in 2013 — and requested a restraining order due to the alleged abuse within the marriage.
According to court documents filed in April 2013, Hoffman claimed that he was “routinely” called a “f——— idiot” and “f——— incompetent” by his then-wife. Hoffman also claimed Porter escalated the alleged abuse to physical violence.
The Democrat’s ex-husband accused her of shattering a glass coffee pot on their kitchen counter during a March 2012 argument, which he claimed erupted because Porter was upset that their home wasn’t clean enough.
Hoffman detailed other instances of Porter’s alleged controlling behavior. “She would not let me have a cell phone because she said, ‘You’re too f——— dumb to operate it,” he claimed in the documents.
Other accusations were more malicious — like alleging Porter used self-harm as a form of gaslighting.
>> Katie Hill.
