If Kamala Harris were to run for governor in California in 2026 , she would have a major advantage over the crowded field of candidates vying to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom .

Nearly half of voters would be very or somewhat likely to support her, a new poll shows.

Harris has not said publicly what she plans to do after President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20 .

A large share of California voters with no opinion about any of them ( 52% ) underscores how little most voters know about the race.

The poll found that Porter would be an early leader among the state’s registered Democrats , as well as among Asian American , white and female voters.

Having support of women is an advantage, DiCamillo said, because the majority of registered Democrats are women.
