Incumbent Democrat Dianne Feinstein continues to hold a very large lead in Tuesday’s low profile primary election for the U.S. Senate. However, according to the latest Berkeley IGS Poll, the race to determine who will face off against Feinstein in the fall general election remains close.
The poll finds Feinstein the choice of 36% when likely voters are presented with the complete list of all thirty-two candidates running in the U.S. primary. In this setting State Senator Kevin de Leon places a distant second at 11%, with little known Republican chief financial officer James P. Bradley within striking distance, at 7%. Another 4% are supporting GOP small business owner Paul A. Taylor, while 13% scatter their votes among nine other Republicans, and 6% choose one of the nine other Democratic candidates in the race. An unusually large 25% of likely voters were still undecided in the final week. CONT.
