Two of California’s most senior Democrats are seeing their leads evaporate as polls tighten before Election Day. (Fox News)
In fact, both Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein have only single-digit leads over their opponents, the results show.
In the race for governor, a Probolsky Research poll, conducted between Aug. 29-Sept. 2, shows Newsom leading Republican businessman John Cox by a mere 5 points, with 17 percent of respondents undecided, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Feinstein faces similar problems, with the poll showing her with only an 8-point advantage over progressive challenger Kevin de León. A quarter of the respondents told the pollsters they remain undecided.
Both Cox and de León have cut their opponents’ leads since the primaries in June. Newsom took 34 percent of the vote while Cox received 25 percent. In California’s “jungle primary” system, the two top finishers face off in the general election, regardless of party.
Alarmingly, for Newsom, he’s splitting the Hispanic vote with his Republican challenger.
