New data from AdImpact underscores that early #CAGov primary polls probably aren't especially valuable, considering that some major Dems (and their allies) have barely spent a penny yet x.com/AdImpact_Pol...
The DownballotMar 4
A quick data-based thread on the possibility of a top-2 lockout for Dems in #CAGov. In the top-2 era (2012 on), there have been three midterms, featuring a total of 23 partisan statewide elections. The GOP's best-ever combined showing in a primary was 46%, in the 2014 controller's race.

For a lockout, then, if the top #CAGov Dem turns in a Yee-in-2014-esque performance, Republicans would *still* have to take 43.5% of the combined primary vote—something they've managed once ever—AND split that pile of votes exactly evenly.

Real talk for #CAGov : Look at this aggregate polling. The field is overcrowded. #Democratic candidates need to turn it up to 12 or bow out. With vote splitting, we could seriously see a Bianco vs Hilton general in #California. Don't assume we won't turn red. Lock in or wind it down. #Election2026

About a candidate for governor of California named Tom Steyer:
"The challenge for Steyer is that it’s hard to trust billionaires in an era when Jeff Bezos just destroyed one of the nation’s leading journalistic institutions, Elon Musk and his DOGE douches have gutted large swaths of the federal government, and Larry Ellison helped fund his son’s takeover of Paramount and the ensuing destruction of CBS News.
