Former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren lead a newly released poll of likely California Democratic primary voters.

Released Monday night, the poll from the Public Policy Institute of California shows Biden and Warren leading the field with 24 percent and 23 percent, respectively. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came in third at 17 percent. No other candidate received double-digit support.

Despite it being her home state, California Sen. Kamala Harris registered at just 8 percent support for fourth place. She was followed by South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 7 percent and entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 5 percent. Every other candidate was at 1 percent or less.

Survey respondents also answered questions about the ongoing impeachment inquiry and Governor Gavin Newsom's handling of wildfires, PG&E, and mass power outages.

Most Californians (57 percent of likely voters, 53 percent of all adults) believe President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office, but interestingly enough, a smaller number of respondents (50 percent of likely voters, 48 percent of all adults) approve of the way House Democrats are handling the inquiry.

On the issue of power shut-offs, just 37 percent of all adults across California have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in their local utility's handling of wildfire prevention shut-offs. This figure plummets to 25 percent in the San Francisco Bay Area, where residents have dealt with multiple prolonged PG&E shut-offs over the past two months.

Most adults (46 percent to 39 percent) approve of the way Newsom "is handling the issue of wildfires and shutoffs," but among likely voters, just 42 say they approve while 46 percent say they disapprove.

Newsom's overall approval rating is at 48 percent among both all adults and likely voters. His disapproval rating is at 33 percent for all adults, but 45 percent for likely voters.

The poll of over 1,700 residents was conducted between Nov. 3 and Nov. 12. You can check out the full poll results here.
