More California voters are now unhappy with Governor Gavin Newsom than at any point since 2024, according to a new poll.

A new survey by Emerson College found that 45% of voters disapprove of the governor’s job performance— the highest number since October 2024 and a six-point increase from December 2025.

Among 1,000 registered voters, Newsom had an approval rate of 44%, a three-point drop from December, the poll found.

In October 2024, the governor’s disapproval rating stood at just 43%.

Newsom’s office did not respond to a request for comment regarding the figures.

The poll also asked voters about the top issues facing Californians, with 37% citing the economy as their No. 1 concern — up three points from December. Nineteen percent cited housing affordability as the state’s top issue.
