CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – Kamala Harris holds a double-digit lead in polls despite donor reluctance linked to her 2024 presidential loss and 40% of voters remaining undecided, University of California, Irvine data shows.

  • The California primary for governor is scheduled for June 2, 2026, with former Vice President Kamala Harris holding an early lead in polls.

  • Polls show Harris with about 24% support, Caruso with 9%, and 40% of voters remain undecided, highlighting significant uncertainty despite Harris’s name recognition and +11 net favorability rating.
  • The outcome hinges on Harris’s decision, which will shape the race dynamics amid divided Democratic support and ongoing questions about her political future.
