New Dem Poll: Are CA Democrats Running Out of Party with 2 Republicans Leading?

Are California Democrats worried about the governor’s race? Governor Gavin Newsom hasn’t done them any favors, sp they may be having a difficult time gaining traction. And, their lengthy list of candidates is pretty vapid.

After failing to endorse a candidate during the recent CADEM convention, and then urging “marginal” Democrat candidates to drop out, Rusty Hicks, State Democrat Party chairman, just released a poll commissioned by the Party, which surveyed 2,000 voters, showing two Republicans leading the pack.

Steve Hilton 16%

Chad Bianco 14%

The three leading Democrats are tied, behind Hilton and Bianco, trailing a solid 5 points:

Eric Swalwell 10%

Katie Porter 10%

Tom Steyer 10%

For the last two decades, the Democrat Party has focused on giving away as much free government stuff, winning voters and future Democrat voters. But they’ve given away all of the free stuff, and now are just grasping at odd ideas and tax increases.

Here are the poll questions and answers:

Questions:

1. In June of this year, there will be a primary election for Governor, Congress, state and local offices, and ballot measures. What are the chances that you will vote in that election?

86% Will definitely vote.

2. In general, do you think things in California are headed in the right direction, or do you feel that
things are off on the wrong track?

Can a Republican will the governor’s race? If they can keep Democrats splintered and split as this poll shows.

If one Republican drops out, Democrats will win based on sheer numbers. If both Republicans stay in, and Democrats stay divided, we have a chance at getting both through the Jungle Primary.

And the bigger question is, have Democrat voters had enough of leftist, socialist, one-party rule? Because they drive on the same crappy roads, their kids attend the same failing public schools, and are taught Porn in K-12 curriculum, they encounter homeless drug addicts on the streets, in the parks and in front of businesses, they also have high utility bills, and pay the highest taxes in the nation, and suffer under water rationing, and have to use paper straws, and pay for their plastic grocery bags, and will never be able to afford to use the High Speed Rail train to nowhere if it is ever completed, and are looking at paying $8.00-$12.00 per-gallon-gas at the pump shortly.

This short list very expensive grievances and quality-of-life issues should be every Californians’ list. Or does party tribalism take precedence over quality of life?

Last year, The Hill reported, Democrats alarmed over data showing voters fleeing to GOP.

An opinion piece in today’s New York Times asks “Why Are So Many Democrats So Far Out of Touch?”

USA Today wrote, “Democrats are deeply unpopular with voters. Duh.”

The crazy wing of the Dem Party may make headlines and get clicks, but social media isn’t real.

Democrats are spiraling into irrelevance. Good riddance, Josh Hammer wrote last July. Has anything changed?

As Sun Tzu said, “An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes,” meaning, he will destroy his own country, just to gain power, which highlights the depths of his ambition and lack of morality. It appears that’s exactly what Gavin Newsom has done to California, literally and figuratively. The governor’s race may reflect this.
