OAKLAND — Gov. Gavin Newsom just got the most concrete evidence to date showing why he’s positioned to survive a recall vote.
But a new statewide poll shows suggests those two pillars of anti-Newsom sentiment aren’t as sturdy as his foes think.59 percent of likely voters approve of how Newsom has managed school reopening — and 59 percent approve how he has handled jobs and the economy. That figure is a few points higher than the share of likely voters who told PPIC in March they would vote to keep Newsom in office.
By comparison, in a June 2003 PPIC poll, only 21 percent of likely voters approved of then-Gov. Gray Davis' job performance. The same survey found 51 percent of likely voters supported a recall, presaging his ouster four months later. The latest PPIC poll did not ask voters whether they would support removing Newsom.
But the PPIC poll shows that anger may not be as deep and enduring as Newsom’s foes believe. More than 60 percent of California’s public school parents approve of Newsom’s handling of the K-12 education system, the poll showed. A plurality of voters believe schools are reopening at the right pace, and nearly two-thirds approve of how their school districts have acted.
He is a good Governor leave him alone it not his fault the virus came here I will vote for him again
Dear in south africa we are living in a reversed apartheid system where whites are classed as second class citizens with the racial BEE laws. please help us to pressure the nationalists ANC government to reverse their business killing policies!&Farm Killings!
Redistricting is probably driving this as well.
Wait until November, he's done!
This Rep led effort to recall him is absurd and a waste of time. I don't agree with some of his choices and would love a more conservative candidate for our schools but at least we have the lowest Covid rate in the country. Well done CA. Now keep your fucken masks on.
