like eating. it's really important to get some nutrition and there to help your body. the energy needs to fight those thing. >> vaccine rates are also low as flu rates are going up. so doctors say it's never too late to get your flu shot. protect yourself as best you can. they're also recommending everybody wash their hands, cover your mouth when you cough and consider masking up if you're going to be in a crowded area and your >> vulnerable. it's 9.37. and could kamala harris be california's next governor? well, there's a new poll that finds if she were to run might be hers to lose. we've got our capitol correspondent eytan wallace with the story. she ran and lost the race for president in 2024. but could kamala harris run and win the race for california? governor? >> in twenty-twenty 6 when gavin newsom is termed out. according to this new exclusive poll from emerson college and nexstar media. the answer is yes. the survey finding harris who has not said whether she plans to run for governor as of now would have 57% support among

registered democrats. in a distant second democratic former u.s. senate candidate and former orange county congress member katie porter with 9% support porter to has yet to publicly say whether she's running and rounding out the top 5, each with less than 5% support. former los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa, california lieutenant governor eleni kounalakis and former state assembly and senate leader toni atkins, 70% of respondents meantime say they're undecided. i don't think this is a huge surprise. kamala harris obviously has huge name recognition in california. california is still a blue state loyola law school professor jessica levinson notes. california is also harris's home state, which she served as attorney general and u.s. senator before her term as vice president. and so voters are familiar with her. >> as the senator as the vice president, and you just can not quantify the importance of her name recognition and

there's nobody in the current field who has the statewide name recognition that harris does, but of harris does not run in the poll, found porter as of now would have the strongest support. >> still in that scenario, 45% of respondents say they're undecided at hagley of emerson. college polling helped conduct a survey with harris out of the picture. i think that this is an open contest. on the issue is more than 6 out of every 10 respondents said the stnte should spend more on firefighter staffing and equipment on immigration. 56% of respondents indicated mass deportations are a bad thing for the state. while 44% said they're a good thing. 54% meantime think california's high-speed rail is a good use of state funds. while 46% think it's not and that's for our current governor, gavin newsom, among california voters from across the spectrum, the poll found he has 42% approval and 40% disapproval of president trump in the golden state has 37%

approval and 53% disapproval. i think what we're seeing with respect to president trump's numbers in california a couple things. one is obviously california, still a blue state, california. did that not go for president trump? >> but there is a significant amount of support for him. and i think more than there used to be, obviously look at the national popular vote. look at the electoral college. they both went for president trump. look at what happened in the u.s. senate in congress. people are voting for republicans right now. and speaking of republicans not included in the poll, riverside county, sheriff republican chad bianco. >> he has hinted in the past he's interested in running for governor and he just announced he'll make what he describes as a major announcement next week reporting at the state tom wallace kron 4 news and 8 on 9.41. is the time. let's go over the east bay now where uc berkeley's lawrence hall of science is actually going to be premiering a new exhibit. >> next month, it's called, as you can see here, the future
