On March 18, a UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times poll was released for the California gubernatorial race. Like the preceding polls, it shows that Xavier Becerra is ahead of Matt Mahan. Yet the upcoming March 24 gubernatorial debate, sponsored by USC, includes Mahan and excludes Becerra. The poll shows Becerra at 5% and Mahan at 4%. Antonio Villaraigosa, another excluded candidate, is also at 4%.

See this story about the new poll. The new poll shows the two Republicans in first and second place.

Here are poll details.
