Ex-MLB great Steve Garvey in line for California Senate runoff: poll
NY Post
Could a Gold Glover win the Golden State’s Senate race?
Former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres star Steve Garvey is running in second place in the crowded race to become California’s next US senator, according to a new poll
The 10-time All-Star, who’s running as a Republican, snagged 15% support in a SurveyUSA poll conducted for the Center for Election Science and released earlier this week.
Garvey, a former National League MVP, only trails Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who’s polling at 22%, in the hotly-contested race for the seat formerly held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Katie Porter (D-Calif.) each recorded 12% support in the survey.
When voters in the Democratic Party stronghold were offered the opportunity to choose as many of the candidates as they wish, Garvey fell to fourth place in the poll with 25% support, behind Schiff’s 37% backing, Porter’s 29% support and Lee’s 28%.
