California Gubernatorial primary race tightens [View all]

Xavier Becerra has taken a slight lead over Steyer in the California Gubernatorial primary polling according to RealClear Polling and is statistically in a tie with Hilton. RCP average has each of the candidates as follows:
Hilton - 20%
Becerra - 19.8%
Steyer - 14%
Bianco - 13%
Proter - 9.8%
Mahan -7.8%
Villaraigosa - 2.3%
Thurmond - 1%

republican Bianco has lost support and it appears that loss is Hilton's gain.

Porter, Mahan, Villaraigosa, and Thurmond are polling below 10% and they should be considering dropping out and endorsing either Becerra or Steyer.
