Voters Lukewarm on Becerra, AG Bonta Blinks on Paramount

Is the California governor’s race finally heating up? New polls show that although Democrat Xavier Becerra is on track to win the November election, voters are lukewarm on him. Marisa, Guy and KQED’s Laura Fitzgerald analyze the polling and look ahead to next week’s debate between Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton.  Then they dig into this week’s California Supreme Court ruling against Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.

Discovery.  Check out Political Breakdown’s weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
