The crowded race for California governor still has no clear front-runner with only days left for voters to decide which two candidates to advance to the general election in November. Fewer Democrats are voting early so far this year than usual. Some Democratic voters say they aren't impressed with the field, while others say they're fearful of two Republican candidates advancing and locking out Democrats. That's possible because the state's primary system allows the top two vote-getters to advance regardless of party.

Gavin Newsom is intended to offset Trump's moves in Texas to gain five Republican districts ahead of the midterms. Ballots are arriving at voters' homes and voting concludes on Nov. 4. The outcome of the election could determine which party controls the closely divided House and the reach of President Donald Trump's power in the second half of his term.
A new poll finds young people in the United States are less engaged in politics than older generations are. Many young adults feel disillusioned with the political system and question the importance of voting. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows only about 2 in 10 young adults follow politics closely, compared with higher numbers among older Americans. The poll also shows about one-third of adults under age 30 identify as political independents, rejecting party labels. Despite this, youth voter turnout has been high in recent elections, suggesting potential for greater political engagement in the future.
