Adam Schiff Leads in California Senate Primary Poll

Latest Survey Shows Schiff Receiving 53% Support

Candidates Battle for Top Spot in Tight Race

In the lead-up to California's Senate primary election, Representative Adam Schiff has emerged as the frontrunner, according to a recent POLITICO Morning Consult poll. The survey, conducted before the June 7th primaries, found Schiff receiving a commanding 53% of support among likely voters.

Schiff's lead is a significant advantage in a crowded field that includes Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter and Republican baseball star Steve Castro.

The poll also shows Porter neck and neck with Castro, with both candidates receiving around 20% support. However, Schiff's strong showing in the early stages of the race suggests he is the candidate to beat.

Schiff, who has represented California's 28th Congressional District since 2001, has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and has played a leading role in the impeachment inquiry against him. Porter, a former law professor, is known for her progressive views and her ability to connect with voters on economic issues.

Castro, a former professional baseball player, is making his first run for public office. He has been endorsed by the California Republican Party and has campaigned on a platform of fiscal conservatism and support for President Trump.

The results of the POLITICO Morning Consult poll are a reminder that the California Senate primary race is still very much up for grabs. With Schiff holding a clear lead, Porter and Castro will need to find a way to differentiate themselves from the frontrunner and appeal to voters in the remaining weeks of the campaign.

The primary election will be held on June 7th, and the top two finishers will advance to the general election in November.
