NEW: Becerra v. Steyer? At KQED's request Mark DiCamillo of the @BerkeleyIGS poll shared results of their hypothetical match-up question: @XavierBecerra 30% , @TomSteyer 27%, 25% Neither, and 18% undecided. Well that would have been fun to cover, but we'll never know!

Because of math. ap.org/elections/our-role/ho…
“It’s official” @mlagos because he’s ahead by .3% and because the mainstream media including “conservative” FOX says so?

It is Friday, right?

So Becerra's in the runoff, Pan has moved into #2 in CD6, Raman is looking like she could beat Pratt out for a #2 spot in LA Mayor's race, Vang is now in #2 against Matsui in CD7, and Villegas has expanded his lead over Bains in CD22. Quite a Friday dump.

Today on Political Breakdown: call it Lucy and the football, Ahab and the white whale: Democrats just can’t seem to beat David Valadao. It’s prompted a nasty Dem on Dem race between @DrJasmeetBains & @Villegas_CA22
We dig in w/ @GuyMarzorati & @mayacmiller @scottshafer

Can really see the increased rate of ballot returns from Democrats who likely decided in the Gov race over the weekend, and their ballots are now hitting county registrars.
