A California would choose to leave the governor Gavin Newsom in office . Know when the state is picking up the rate of vaccination and the Democratic governor has already launched his campaign to keep his job.
The 56% of the 1, 174 potential voters who participated in a California Public Policy Institute poll said that s and opposed the revocation, a 40% support it, and the rest are undecided . More than three-quarters of potential voters said in the same poll that the worst of the pandemic is over.
The results of the poll, which was conducted between 14 and the 23 of March, are a reflection that “more Californians are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel,” said Mark Baldassare, president of the institute.
Baldassare believes that the support to maintain Newsom in office is related to optimism about the future of the pandemic, something that has improved since January. “All of these things work to the benefit of maintaining the status quo.”
There is a clear difference between the voters of both parties. The 79% of Republicans support the revocation and the same percentage of Democrats are against it. The total percentage of potential voters who bet to kick Newsom out – a % – is approximately the same as voted for by Republican John Cox in the gubernatorial election of 2018 .
Dan Newman, a Newsom political spokesman, said the poll results confirm that the revocation “ It is a purely partisan scheme prepared because the Republicans cannot win the elections in California. ”
“ It shows once again that the withdrawal is supported by the same hardcore and extreme fans himself by a Trump Republican against a Democrat, ”Newman added.
Governor Newsom has received support from progressive Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Na ncy Pelosi . All of them have asked California Democrats that, if the revocation goes ahead, not to run for current governor .
