However, things can still change as 27.3% have said they have yet to make up their minds.

Ismael Burgueño’s high poll numbers also reflect a favorable political climate for Morena in the state. The ruling party commands 41.3% of voter support in Baja California, far outpacing the National Action Party (PAN) at 17.3% and Movimiento Ciudadano at 7.2%. 18.7% remain undecided on which party to back.

The survey which took place on August 4, 2026, conducted by telephone among 1,000 adults across Baja California, carries a 95% confidence level and is part of Demoscopía’s ongoing monthly tracking effort.
