"With Kamala Harris officially out of the race, Katie #Porter has emerged as the Democratic frontrunner,
increasing her support from 12% to 18% since the April Emerson poll,”
Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.

“Steve #Hilton, who was not in the race in April, has jumped to 12%,
while the share of undecided voters has dropped from 54% to 38% over the summer.

Porter leads among voters over 50 (22%),
those with a postgraduate degree (35%),
and white voters (23%).”

Looking ahead to the 2028 presidential nomination contest,
Governor Gavin #Newsom leads the Democratic primary with 23%,
followed by former Secretary of Transportation Pete #Buttigieg at 17%,
Vice President Kamala #Harris at 11%,
and Representative Alexandria #Ocasio-#Cortez at 9%.

In the Republican primary,

A third of voters (33%) support the proposal to redraw California’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 Midterm Elections, while a quarter (25%) oppose; 42% are unsure. 
“Support to redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the Midterm Elections is strongest among Democrats by a 23-point margin, 42% to 19%,
and opposed by an eight-point margin among Republicans, 36% to 28%.

A majority of independent voters are unsure, while 25% oppose and 23% support,” Kimball said.

The #economy is the top issue for 30% of California voters,
down from 40% in April,
followed by #housing affordability at 19%,
#immigration at 15% (up from 7% in April),
