Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff leads the race for California’s open U.S. Senate seat.

A poll from the University of California, Berkeley, found that 53% of Californians who were sure to vote in November supported Schiff. Steve Garvey, a Republican who used to play first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres and got 33% of the vote, was 20 points behind him.

The poll found that Schiff got 84% of the support from Democrats registered to vote. Eighty-eight percent of Republicans who were registered said they would like Garvey to fill the open Senate seat, Newsweek reported.

Eighty-eight percent of those who answered said they were “strongly conservative,” and they also supported Garvey. Schiff won over 94% of Californians who said they are “strongly liberal.”

Mark DiCamillo, head of UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies Poll, said, “Because Democrats and liberals outnumber Republicans and conservatives in California by wide margins, this gives Schiff a considerable edge in the race.”

According to the poll, one of the most important things that likely voters look for in a candidate this fall is whether they “would be a strong voice in defending abortion rights for women in the Senate.”

Roughly 55% of those who answered said that a candidate’s views on abortion were important to their vote. Schiff, who is 64 years old, has spoken out in favor of abortion rights and has asked the federal government to protect the process. In the 1970s and 1980s, Garvey was a major league baseball star. He has said that he is personally against abortion but would “support the voice of the people of California” on the matter.

A poll from UC Berkeley also found that 44% of likely voters in California want a candidate who “supports tougher immigration laws.”

However, only 21% of those who said they would vote for Schiff said that immigration policy is very important to them. On the other hand, 84% of likely voters who backed Garvey said that stricter immigration rules were necessary.

In an interview with the New York Post, Garevy spoke about surprising everyone in the jungle primary in California in March and shared his cautiously hopeful vision of the world.

Garvey expressed his desire to encourage harmony and decorum in the Senate, suggesting that California might be ready to send a political heavyweight to Washington in the fall.

“I’ll go to all 99 senators, I’ll go to their office, I will stick out my hand, I will say, ‘I want to work with you for the good of your state and mind and for this country and the world, and let’s do this together,’” the Republican said of his plans on Capitol Hill.

“We’ve come a long way, but I think we got a long way to go,” Garvey said, emphasizing his status as a political outsider and commitment to being a one-term lawmaker if elected.

“First of all, I will demand an audit for where the $20 to $25 billion went for the homeless in California. And I think that’s one of the great humanitarian disasters. We’ve gone to all of the inner cities, Sacramento and San Francisco and San Diego,” Garvey said, adding that the streets in these cities are “almost unwalkable.”

“Since day one, I’ve ran a different type of campaign, I have not taken or asked for a single political endorsement, the only endorsements I want are from the law enforcement community and first responders,” he said in a statement provided to The Post. “My focus is, and always has been, on the issues that truly matter to Californians — affordability, public safety, securing the border, fixing the homeless crisis, and restoring California’s leadership.”

“It’s a very narrow path in California, a one-party state. Such a disparity in registration. But what we did to get through the primary, I think shocked a lot of people, and we’re gonna win this. I can’t tell you exactly how we’re gonna do it today, but we’ve got a pretty good plan,” he told The Post.
