SurveyUSA CALIFORNIA poll: Biden 27%, Sanders 18%, Warren 16%, Harris 13%, Yang 7%, [View all]

Buttigieg 3%, O'Rourke & Castro 2%, all others 1% or less

Third California state poll out today, and they're showing very different results.

This is a post-debate poll.

Yang is currently sitting in fifth place - but he's been climbing since the last survey. He's now at 7% in California, up from 1% in earlier surveys. And among voters ages 18-34, Yang is taking 14% of the vote.

Unsurprisingly, Biden is leading the pack with 27% support from voters across the state.

Though Biden is well ahead in the poll, it's mostly because his nearest rivals, including Harris, did not gain ground with voters across the Golden State following last week's debate in Houston.

He's followed by Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, with 18% and 16% of the votes, respectively.

Biden also leads Sanders and Warren among Latino voters at 29%, compared to their 22% and 15%. The political veteran is also ahead among self-described "very liberal" Democrats.

Warren and Harris, who remains stagnant in fourth place with 13%, both slid down a few points each in the poll.

When asked which candidate they believed would defeat Trump in a general election, 62% said Biden, showing a 21-point lead on Warren and Sanders.



That last sentence contains one of the poll's more surprising findings.

When asked whether they thought specific candidates could beat Trump in a general election, the only candidate who had more than 41% affirmative answers (which both Sanders and Warren got) was Biden at 62%.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
