CA: Hillary continues to lead in polls for both the primary and the general election

Hillary Clinton: 53%
Elizabeth Warren: 13%
Joe Biden: 6%
Bernie Sanders: 5%
Jim Webb: 1%
Martin O'Malley: <0.5%
Lincoln Chaffee: <0.5%
Other/Undecided: 22%

Other findings:

The survey also asked likely voters in the Democratic primary for their reactions should Clinton
become the party’s nominee for President next year. In response greater than four in ten Democrats
(46%) say they would be enthusiastic about Clinton as their party's nominee, and most of the rest
(38%) say they would be satisfied.
Just 10% say they would be dissatisfied or upset.


snip:

Women, strong liberals and voters in the San Francisco Bay Area are the Democratic voter
constituencies most likely to be enthusiastic about Clinton as their party’s nominee
. For example,
52% of Democratic women voters polled said they would be enthusiastic about Clinton as the
nominee, compared to 38% among Democratic men.

Six in ten Democrats who identify themselves as strongly liberal in politics (60%) say they’d be
enthusiastic about Clinton as their party’s nominee
, while among all other Democrats 41% say this.

In addition, a larger proportion of Bay Area Democrats (56%) than Democrats in other parts of the
state say they would be enthusiastic were Clinton to become their party’s nominee.


Clinton holds commanding double-digit leads when paired against each of the leading Republicans
in simulated general election trial heats among the overall California electorate.
Against Bush, the
former First Lady leads by a 53% to 32% margin. Against Rubio, her lead is 52% to 31%, while
against Walker, she leads 54% to 30%.

These polls are meaningless if they include Warren and Biden.

I guess they aren't as socialistic as we thought.

CA went for Clinton in the 2008 primary though, so not too surprising.

Polling took place between April 23 and May 16. So, it's fairly recent data. Poll sample was 801 registered California voters.
