Former Biden Cabinet member Xavier Becerra remains the top Democrat in the California governor’s race despite being targeted by a barrage of negative political ads and enduring sharp attacks from his rival candidates during recent debates, according to a new poll released Tuesday by the state Democratic Party.
Billionaire Tom Steyer, a Democrat who is shattering self-funding records for statewide office, has been flooding the television airwaves, internet and social media with ads ripping Becerra’s long record in public office, as well as for accepting campaign donations from oil giant Chevron. But, thus far, that has not been enough for Steyer to overtake Becerra.
The survey found that 21% of likely voters backed Becerra, who also served in Congress and as California’s attorney general, while 15% backed Steyer. Among the other top Democrats: Former Orange County congresswoman Katie Porter received 7%; San José Mayor Matt Mahan came in at 4%; and state Supt. of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa registered at 1%.
*** Leading all candidates in the race was Republican Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, who was supported by 22% of likely voters. His top GOP challenger, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, was backed by 10%, the poll showed.
While Hilton and Becerra right now appear to be the likeliest candidates to finish in the top two in California’s June 2 primary, which is required to advance to the November general election, there still remains plenty of time for political fortunes and voter support to rise or fall. Ballots were mailed to the state’s 23.1 million registered voters and early voting sites opened earlier this month, but most Californians have not sent them in thus far.
For Becerra, the strong poll results indicate an astounding turnaround...

I’m not in California; but Porter is one of the most ugly, vicious politicians I’ve ever seen. I hope she’s completely finished in politics.
Yes it looks like the blight will continue in california. There may be a glimmer of hope in LA however.
Correct all the way around. The only chance any Republican had was if BOTH of them made it to November (and Democrats didn’t retroactively rig the game).
Trump’s endorsement was probably irrelevant — it was probably never going to be 2 R and 0 D in November anyway — but it still wasn’t smart or necessary to try to ENSURE it would never be 2 R and 0 D.
Wasn’t Brian Dahle a Bianco type candidate? Why would he outperform Hilton?
“I’m not in California; but Porter is one of the most ugly, vicious politicians I’ve ever seen. I hope she’s completely finished in politics”
2nd that, vial slob. Sad to say the only reason anyone has heard her name over that mush brained University of Irvine students is that semi conservative (used to be solid conservative) Orange County voted her to DC 5 years back.
Porter and Hillary belong to the same coven.
Please tell me you know for sure Porter is toast. Her voice and speaking style, not to mention her positions, are repellent.
Porter reminds me of that kid in class whenever the teacher asked ANY question on ANY subject the arm shoots up immediately , frantic hand waving practically jumping out of her seat👀.... Lolol😅😅😅
Porter is a Harvard product and very very intense. Intensely dysfunctional, too as the stories go.
Come to think of it, she kind of looks like Horshack.
😂😂 Thanks for the pic!!😂
I think she looks exactly like the late, great Gene Hackman.
To me, anyone who exhibits the kneejerk temper and vicious anger that she does can’t be trusted to consider any issue from a standpoint of wisdom. She’s a dangerous person only interested in power.
Don’t forget Becerra has corruption dirt. When DJT says “We Have It All,” DJT isn’t bullshitting.

Former Newsom chief of staff pleads guilty to scheme that bled money from Becerra’s account
https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/05/california-newsom-chief-plea-deal/
On the campaign trail, Becerra has faced questions about whether he should have paid closer attention to his campaign account’s expenses. Strategists say $7,500 to $10,000 a month is a high price for account maintenance.
The scandal has complicated Becerra’s bid for governor, especially as it coincides with the upcoming primary election. His rivals have seized on the situation, questioning his competence and management skills.
His rivals have seized on the situation,
“Republicans Pounce!”
This, and all of the money he spent on his Presidential campaign, could have funded a lot of environmental cleanup projects - an issue he claims to care so much about as one of his main motives of running for office.
I heard she abused het husband by dumping mashed potatoes on his head..
Ive listened to het voice & I call her a harpy
