Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Republican candidate Steve Garvey are now in a statistical tie in California’s nonpartisan Senate primary, polling released Friday shows.
In California’s nonpartisan primary system, the top two vote-getters will advance to a runoff in November, regardless of party affiliation.
The Berkeley IGS poll notes a “large increase” in support for Garvey over the last several weeks, and he fares even better in the partial-term race on the California ballot.
California is seeing notably low turnout for the primary, just days before Super Tuesday, and data indicates it’s predominantly older Californians casting ballots at this point.
The Berkeley IGS poll found nearly two-thirds of the likely electorate were 50 or older, tripling the number of voters under 40.
“Garvey is the chief beneficiary in a low turnout election scenario, as he holds a huge advantage over the field among fellow Republicans and both he and Schiff are the two most preferred candidates among older voters, whites, and homeowners,” the poll release reads.
