San Francisco Chronicle / March 2, 2024
Rep. Adam Schiff and former Los Angeles Dodger Steve Garvey are poised for a November face-off to represent California in the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
The poll shows about 27% of likely voters said theyd back Garvey, the races leading Republican, a statistical tie to Schiffs 25%, according to the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, which conducted the poll in late February.
Just 13% of likely voters supported Garvey in early January, IGS polling showed, while 21% backed Schiff, D-Burbank.
About 19% of likely voters said in late February that theyd cast their ballot for Rep. Katie Porter, D-Irvine, whose competitiveness in polls has slipped in recent months. Roughly the same percentage of voters backed her in January.

Unless something catastrophic happens, Schiff is going to be the next Senator to represent California. Unfortunately, we have another seven months of campaign ads to weather through.
