Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton’s uphill battle to beat Democrat Xavier Becerra in liberal-leaning California is resonating in a key, populous Southern California county.
A new poll by the University of California, Irvine taken June 9 to 12 showed Orange County voters giving Hilton 47% of the vote share, above Becerra’s 44%. The same poll also showed that Hilton has more support among his base of Orange County Republicans, at 94%, compared to the 82% of Democrats supporting Becerra there.
“We have moved ahead of Becerra in California’s 3rd largest county,” Hilton said Saturday regarding the poll. “Millions of Californians are saying: Enough Is Enough! Let’s Fix California!”

Are they already done counting the responses to the polls? That was quick.
LA Co already has a few million, signed, stamped and boxed and banked to insert over several weeks as needed after the election.
Pffft... Does objective person really believe that there will ever be a free and fair election in the state of California?
A 20 point lead would not be enough. Hilton has no chance. Ca is not voting their way out of this even if they wanted to which they probably don’t.
Xavier Becerra’s leadership as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) was heavily criticized for losing contact with tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children.An investigation by the New York Times found that HHS lost contact with at least 85,000 migrant children (about a third of the total) over a two-year period, with some estimates running even higher.
The core issues were:
Lapses in Oversight: The HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement hastily vetted sponsors and frequently failed to follow up to ensure the children were safe after they were placed.
No Legal Mandate: Becerra and HHS officials frequently defended the agency by noting that once children are discharged to sponsors, the government loses the legal authority to monitor them, and sponsors are not required to maintain contact or respond to follow-up calls.These circumstances have drawn severe criticism.
Reports of children facing exploitation or forced labor have made the issue a prominent point of contention, heavily scrutinised in political contexts such as the California gubernatorial race.
You can explore the full New York Times New York Times investigation for detailed breakdowns of the HHS vetting failures, or read the House Committee on Energy and Commerce oversight reports to see congressional perspectives on the crisis.
Commiefornia would rather inject pesticide than vote for a republican it’s really that simple they like the insanity here and you have enough illegals to cover for them and vote dem forever

Exactly!
Hilton could be leading 99 to 1 on election day and would still lose once the “counting” was done.
My son lives in Orange County and he’s never believed that Newsome survived the recall in the OC.
What really matters is in which county will the vote “counting” take place?
A Republican would have to infiltrate the Kalifornia Ballot Counting Industrial Complex.
Kalifornia is the epitome of: “It is not who votes that counts. What matters is who COUNTS the votes.”
I am afraid you are right; and that is not good because the California contagion has and will continue to infect the entire nation.
The sane parts of the country have to figure out a way to quarantine the damage.
Xavier is calling out his X-Men even as we speak.
That is an interesting comment . . . no; that wouldn't be right.
