Are American voters in a sour, anti-incumbent, throw the bums out mood? The persistently low ratings of Congress would indicate peril for incumbents, right?
California has 53 congressional districts, and in 49 of them an incumbent was running for reelection in Tuesday's primary. Care to guess how many incumbents finished less than first in those 49?

One. Maybe.
In California's Louisiana-style primary, the top two finishers in the primary advance to the general election, regardless of party. In the 17th district, at the south end of San Francisco Bay, the incumbent Democrat Mike Honda is 177 votes behind another Democrat, Ro Khanna, as of June 9 at 7:20 p.m. That's it. All the other incumbents finished first.
