(15,512 posts)but those were in April and June. CA went for Hillary in the 2016 primary and Harris is from CA so this one is going to be close.

(15,512 posts)So Cal will go to Joe and that will put him over; No Cal will split with either Harris or Warren leading and Joe at #2. But CA has proportional delegates, not winner-take-all, so winning isn't ALL that important though it counts for a lot.

(26,697 posts)With three (or in this case four) candidates splitting delegates from many of those states (and not always the same 3/4), we could easily see no candidate close to 50% of committed delegates.

(15,512 posts)Feinstein has already endorsed Joe, most others are waiting like Garcetti, and Boxer publicly deplored Harris' debate performance. So I think there will probably be a split like in 2016, most going to Biden but a good chunk going to the other three, with Biden taking it. JMHO, YMMV!
p.s. this poll is by email so the numbers reflect those who respond to their email.

Warren getting a plurality in California would bode very well for the General Election.

(5,376 posts)Progressive employment laws and court decisions from the Golden State often influence state laws and company policies in the rest of the nation.
California gave the nation the Frisbee disc, McDonald's, the microchip, Silicon Valley and lots of employee-friendly laws. Employee rights that start in California spread to other states as quickly as plaintiffs' attorneys draft lawsuits and employee advocates get lawmakers' ears. Some novel moves, like paid family leave and mandatory sexual harassment training, come from the California legislature. Others, like standards on wrongful discharge and implied contracts, come from the courts.
While California doesn't set the pace in every law, most of the state's firsts carry implications for HR managers and employers nationwide. Especially for multistate organizations that conduct business in California, "the question is whether you want to extend the California protections to everyone or limit them to your employees in California," says Michael Lotito, SPHR, a partner in the San Francisco office of Jackson Lewis.
Furthermore, "when things happen in California, they're picked up and embraced throughout the country," adds Lynn Outwater, SPHR, a partner in the Pittsburgh office of Jackson Lewis.

The views of California voters are trendsetting for the rest of the country.
Warren getting a plurality in California bodes well for her and her policies in the General Election
