If the 2018 U.S. Senate race in California proceeds as expected, voters will ultimately have their pick of incumbent Sen. Dianne Feinstein or state Senate Leader Kevin de Len. With that set of choices, voters will have the misfortune of having to choose between an incumbent whose re-election bid most think will be a "bad thing" for California, according to a Berkeley IGS poll, and an opponent whose name 43 percent don't recognize and of those who do only a minority like him, according to a Sextant Strategies & Research/Capitol Weekly poll of 1,554 likely voters.
