BOSTON, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new poll conducted in California by the Emerson College Polling Society (ECPS) suggests that the perennially blue state, which has not been won by a Republican presidential candidate since 1988, may be in play for the 2016 election.
Hillary Clinton holds a commanding 46-point lead over Senator Elizabeth Warren, her nearest potential rival for the Democratic nomination. However, in head-to-head matchups with the top two GOP contenders, Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, Clinton's 53% to 47% edge is within the poll's margin of error of +/- 3.2%.
California Republicans are split on who their candidate will be. Among those who plan to vote in the GOP primary, Bush and Walker are tied at 17%, physician Ben Carson trails by two points at 15%, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz is at 11%. Nearly 1 in 5 are undecided.

Having lived here all my long life I doubt California is in “play.” We are Mexico Del Norte and they and the Chinese vote left.(The Chinese are the fastest growing conquerors in the state.)
If Cruz picks up Latino and black churchgoers Chillery is toast.
I don’t see why the Chinese should vote left. They are part of the successful workers who have to pay all the taxes. Sooner or later they will wise up.
The old “within the margin for error” gambit.
Californication will NEVER be “in play” for any Republican presidential candidate.
Not one cent, not one minute should be wasted campaigning in West Sodom.
I will lay 1,000 to one odds that the Republican presidential nominee will not win California. Are there any takers out there?
Why couldn’t the Chinese be persuaded to vote GOP?
Don’t they mostly work for a living?
As a lifelong Californian, I can tell you it almost never matters what we do because of our time zone. The thing is almost over when our polling places are still open.
“Forget it, Jake, it’s California.”
Some of the recently arrived Chinese are loyal to Chinese communism. My daughter has run into this at her high school, with one of the students echoing the pro-Chinese government spin of her parents.
California is not in play, any more than Texas is.
Diversionist wetdreamer CRAP. Waste of time at the very thought of it. ... Horsesh!t
Chinese see the opportunity for chain immigration. And most Chinese do not have an aversion to what America has traditionally considered corruption, even small things such as bribes for driver’s licenses.
So they’re loyal to the Chinese government, but have moved out of China and taken their money with them, just in case?
Local station wanting to make SURE they get their share of the estimated 3 BILLION dollar campaign ad spend over the next 18 months...
Nothing in my assessment of Cruz blares Latino or Hispanic. I am not disposed to diversity as a commodity for conservatism to win
Instead I see, always and forever see, a strong non-Rubio choirboy voice echoing American ideals, dreams and intent of our collective founding.
What more does anyone need? Do we have to pander to diversity, inclusion and a counter to that insane diverse quasiquiddity (I made this word up special for Democrat zealots).
Right doesn’t need equivocation or alteration. It just is.
I think they are prospering wherever they find an opportunity. They are not leaving because they felt oppressed or at risk. They intend to go back and forth for business and family reasons. I have no idea on which side of the Pacific they keep their money. There are plenty of Chinese banks in our community, though.
And let me say this. - Hahahahaha. Ain't gonna happen. We are GONE. Way too far gone here. We are controlled by the needy and greedy. With the aid of the guilty wealthy.
We elected the guy pushing the non bullet train to no where , for heavens sake. We are lost here. Please don't dare waste money or effort here.
I will take those odds for $10. I will risk ten bucks
for $10,000 any day. Private mail me to work out the
logistics.
42% in 2000
44% in 2004
37% in 2008
38% in 2012
I don’t see it happening.
