The California gubernatorial race is gearing up with more Democrat-on-Democrat onslaught as the competition enters into a critical final stretch, according to a new poll released Monday. The biggest target of the field of six Democratic candidates is former Health and Human Services chief Xavier Becerra, who has surged into the lead at 18% despite a barrage of ads directed at him. Becerra is tied for first with Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton, according to the poll funded by the California Democratic Party.
