Trader consensus prices Rep. Eric Swalwell at 60% to win California's 2026 gubernatorial race, reflecting his momentum from a March 7-9 Emerson College poll showing him leading the June 2 nonpartisan primary at 17% amid 25% undecided voters, ahead of Steve Hilton (13%) and Tom Steyer (11%). Recent labor endorsements, including the California Teachers Association on March 30 for joining teacher strikes, plus SEIU, UFCW, and firefighters, have bolstered his Democratic base in the crowded field of over 10 candidates. Mixed polls like UC Berkeley's (Hilton at 19%) highlight vote-splitting risks allowing a Republican top-two advance, but prediction markets favor Swalwell's name recognition and consolidation for primary and general victory.
