The latest poll in the race for California governor is out, the first since Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race. It was conducted by Emerson College Polling on Tuesday and Wednesday. Republican commentator Steve Hilton remains in first place with the support of 17 percent of likely voters. Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and billionaire activist Tom Steyer, a Democrat, are tied for second place, each polling at 14 percent. Behind them are former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and former congresswoman Katie Porter, who are each tied at ten percent. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, another Democrat, is polling at five percent. Those six candidates will be invited to next Wednesday’s primary debate. Twenty-three percent of the thousand likely voters surveyed said they are still undecided.
