Harris is trailed by former Rep. Katie Porter at 9%, who is also fresh from a failed campaign. Nearly a fifth, 17%, remain undecided.<\/p>\n<p>After Harris lost her presidential bid in November, her husband Doug Emhoff became a partner at the law firm Willkie Farr and Gallagher, which has offices in New York City. The couple has an apartment on the Upper West Side and in Los Angeles, California, and they own their home in Brentwood, California.<\/p>\n<p>California Attorney General Rob Bonta said he wouldn&rsquo;t run for governor last week but that he would endorse Harris, even though she hasn&rsquo;t announced a run or filed to be a candidate. The poll found former Speaker of the California State Assembly Antonio Villaraigosa and sitting Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis at 4% each.<\/p>\n<p>Harris dismissed questions about her next political campaign when she visited the site of the wildfires in the Los Angeles area last month. She said she wanted &ldquo;to be in touch with my community, to be in touch with the leaders&rdquo; and &ldquo;support them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Democratic Party controls the governorship and both chambers of the state legislature in California.
