Rep. Loretta Sanchez is either gaining ground on Kamala Harris in California’s U.S. Senate race or she’s dropping like a stone, according to two polls released on Wednesday.
A poll released by the Public Policy Institute of California found that Harris’ lead over Sanchez has narrowed. Among those likely voters surveyed, 32% favored Harris compared with 25% who supported Sanchez — a 7-percentage-point difference.
That’s down from the 18-point lead Harris had over Sanchez in the group’s poll in July.
But a new Field poll released earlier Wednesday found that 42% of likely voters in California favored Harris, compared with 20% who backed Sanchez — a 22-point difference.
That’s up from the 15-point lead Harris had over Sanchez in a Field poll in July.
So what’s the story?
