SAN FRANCISCO – (INT) – Hillary Clinton continues to be the overwhelming choice of California Democrats in next year’s Democratic primary election for president.

The California Field Poll found that she is preferred by 53% of this state’s likely voters in the Democratic primary.

However, Clinton’s current level of support is less than it was in February, when 59% of California’s likely Democratic primary voters supported her candidacy. Over this same period, the proportion of Democratic primary voters who are undecided has tripled from 7% to 22%.

The poll also finds that fewer than half of Democratic primary voters (46%) say they would be enthusiastic were Clinton to become their party’s nominee.

On the Republican side, the poll finds that none of the announced or potential GOP presidential candidates has yet emerged as the frontrunner.

Three Republicans receive nominally higher levels of support among likely voters in the GOP primary than the others. They include former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. However, support for each is not particularly large.
