In the recent IGS Berkeley poll for the U.S. Senate race, the election in Orange County is tied while Democrat Adam Schiff is beating Steve Garvey by 17 points (53% to 36%) statewide. The polling tie reflects the recent competitive political environment in O.C. The county has two of the country’s most competitive House races in Republican Michelle Steel’s coastal district (CD45) and Irvine/UCI-centered former Congressperson Katie Porter’s open seat (CD 47).
Although Joe Biden won the county in 2020 by 7 points (53% to 46%), the 2022 senate race was a near tie between Alex Padilla and Mark Meuser, and Gavin Newsom lost the governor’s race (48% to 52%) to Brian Dahle, who only got 41 percent statewide.
