This smells like a Cox internal, honestly.

I can believe him being in second. I cannot believe him being only four points back of Newsom.

If you read the article it says the polling company commissioned it themselves.

Candidates lie and so do polling companies.

[Politician]

Yep, it's a Newsom vs Cox runoff.

If it was an internal poll they wouldn't have explained how they did it.

It's also usually a "house pollster" for Republican candidates. So there's at least a "house effect" for Cox (and maybe Allen) here.

[Yellowhammer]

80% chance Cox makes the runoff.

[Mr. Smith]

Wouldn't surprise me if Allen was underestimated and managed to split the vote enough for Villaraigosa to leap ahead for 2nd.

Newsom's strategy of running "attack" ads against Cox on Fox News appears to be working.

It would be interesting if California ends up having a D v. D Senate race and a D v. R Gubernatorial race. I wonder what the respective county maps would look like.
