Democrat Gavin Newsom (28%) is the top choice among likely voters, followed by Republican John Cox
(14%), Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa (12%), Republican Travis Allen (10%), and Democrats John
Chiang (6%) and Delaine Eastin (5%). A quarter of likely voters (24%) are still undecided. In the January
PPIC poll, Newsom (23%) and Villaraigosa (21%) were in a virtual tie, with 7 percent supporting Cox.
A majority of likely voters (55%) are satisfied with candidate choices in the gubernatorial primary, with
Democrats (71%) much more likely than independents (48%) or Republicans (42%) to be satisfied.
Among likely voters, Democrats prefer Newsom to Villaraigosa by 17 points (39% to 22%), with 17
percent unsure. Republicans choose Cox over Allen (33% to 25%), with 30 percent unsure. The top two
candidates among independents are Newsom (29%) and Cox (15%). Latinos are more likely to support
Villaraigosa (37%), while whites are more likely to support Newsom (31%).
With the June primary less than three months away, nearly half of likely voters are following news
about the candidates very (14%) or fairly (34%) closely. Interest in the race has increased 18 points since
January and has nearly doubled since last December.
