CA-Gov: With the Sept. 14 recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom looking close in most polls—and even succeeding in one survey earlier this month—the Democratic Governors Association is contributing another $3 million to Newsom's cause. As analyst Rob Pyers of the California Target Book notes, that sum comes on top of the $1.5 million the DGA has already given and makes the group "the largest single contributor" to Newsom's campaign committee, which has brought in $62 million to date.

One new poll, though, is at odds with previous data: Democratic pollster Change Research, in a survey it says it conducted in-house, sees the recall failing by a 57-42 margin among those who say they're likely to vote or already have. That's by far the most favorable finding for Newsom among likely voters since before the summer. The survey also finds conservative radio host Larry Elder taking 27% on the replacement question, with his nearest opponent, Democrat Kevin Paffrath, far back at 6.
