Poll: Republican John Cox In Solid 2nd for California Governor Heading into June 5 PrimaryBreitbart, Jun 1, 2018, Joel B. Pollak
Republican businessman John Cox has strengthened his second-place position in the race for California governor, making him likely to qualify for the general election against Democrat Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom after the June 5 primary, according to a new poll.
The Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies has Newsom at 33 percent of likely voters and Cox at 20 percent, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Democrat whom pundits thought likely to finish second and qualify for an all-Democrat general election, is a distant third at 13 percent. He is effectively tied with conservative Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach), who polls at 12 percent.
The margin of error for the poll has not yet been reported.
The poll’s director says that President Donald Trump’s endorsement has made a difference in the race, helping Cox open up his lead against Allen, according to the Bee:
