A day before voters head to the polls to winnow the field of 27 candidates running for California governor, private surveys show businessman John Cox (R) surging into second place behind the frontrunner, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
Internal tracking polls conducted by both Democratic and Republican pollsters obtained by The Hill show Newsom taking a little less than 30 percent of the vote, with Cox clocking in north of 20 percent. State Assemblyman Travis Allen (R), former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) and state Treasurer John Chiang (D) are all bunched around 10 percent.
