CA-GOV: Harris holds double-digit lead over declared, potential California governor candidates: Pol

Vice President Harris, who is considering a run for governor in California, holds a double-digit lead over a hypothetical 2026 gubernatorial field, new polling shows.

New data from the University of California, Irvine’s School of Social Ecology found Harris with 24 percent support when pitted against other declared and rumored candidates.

Businessman-turned-politician Rick Caruso, who’s reportedly considering a run for governor next year, was next up, with 9 percent support.

Despite Harris’s lead, a whopping 40 percent of Californians said they’re not yet sure which candidate they’d support to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
