From Fox News:
A poll released Wednesday by the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies shows that Bianco ranked a close second at 16% among support for candidates running for California governor. Fellow Republican Steve Hilton was ranked first within margin of error at 17%.
Both Republicans are ahead of the two top Democratic names, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and former Rep. Katie Porter, who are each at 13%.
According to Bianco, the poll shows that Californians feel the state prioritizes criminals and illegal immigrants over its citizens. He believes California is worse off than ever due to years under Newsom and decades of Democratic rule.
Bianco, who leads one of the largest sheriff’s offices in the U.S., and other Republicans lead in polling as the state faces concerns over crime, cost of living, and immigration policies, all defining issues in the state’s 2026 governor’s race.
“We’re leading in these polls because we are offering a better California,” Bianco said. “We are offering a commonsense California, and it’s resonating with people.”
