Image from Fox 5 videoA poll released Friday by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies finds Democrat Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey in a statistical dead heat for Senate as the March 5 primary nears. Garvey, a retired baseball star, was the choice of 27% of likely voters polled, with Schiff, a 12-term congressman, second at 25%. Mark DiCamillo, director of the poll, said support for Garvey has grown significantly in recent weeks. “A big part of Garvey’s appeal to primary election voters relates to voter perceptions that he will be tougher on the nation’s immigration problem than the other candidates,” DiCamillo said.
