Democrats turn on Gavin Newsom as stunning poll reveals numbers who back probe into him and his wife
NY Post ^ | 7/06/26 | Zain Khan

A sizable share of Democrats support the federal probe into California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife as the duo claims President Donald Trump is directing a politically motivated attack against them, a new survey shows.

A Daily Mail/JL Partners poll found 27% of Democrats support the probe into California’s first couple, with 14% saying they “somewhat support” the investigation and 13% saying they “strongly support” it.

Last month, Newsom announced he and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom were the targets of a federal investigation by the US Department of Justice.

The investigation, which involves the FBI and IRS, has reportedly focused on Siebel Newsom’s finances and the couple’s tax records.

Federal agents have contacted numerous friends, family members and associates. The probe has reportedly been underway since at least 2025 and is separate from another ongoing federal investigation that resulted in Dana Williamson, the former chief of staff in Newsom’s political inner circle, pleading guilty to federal fraud and tax charges.

When the investigation first became public, many Democrats — including Sen. Adam Schiff as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris — rallied behind Newsom.

Among the 1,059 registered voters surveyed by Daily Mail and JL Partners, 43% of independent voters said they either strongly or somewhat support the investigation, while 36% opposed it.

Support was, as expected, much higher among Republicans, with more than 70% backing the investigation.

They and the DSA want the “nice talking” “Black” governor of Maryland, not another “white guy” like Newsome. Wes Moore can talk the DSA talk while acting like a “Liberal”.

Agreed plus he doesn't have that much of a track record similar to Obama.

Newsom wife to hubby: “Oh, no. I’m afraid.”

Newsom: “Hey, stop crying. This is only from conservatives. The GOP never gets anybody thrown in prison. Ask Hillary, the Comey and Brennan types, Obama and his circle or anybody else. Are they in prison? No, we just got an invitation to a top rated chef catered dinner in the Hamptons and they all be there. We’ll be waiting in our stretch limos for the valets to open our doors.”

Wife: “Thanks. I feel a lot better.”

,,, if they come out squeeky clean, all good. Enough people know enough to know they won't. Newsom would have a leg to stand on if all's OK but going into an election trying to be a Klinton...

The more publicity this probe gets, the better.

As usual the Left on TV will say “Trump is trying to do something sinister and totally unique. For the very first time he his targeting political opponents with lawfare by weaponizing the justice system to hurt his enemies. A first for our democracy.”

I still suspect very strongly that Moochelle is the stealth, heir apparent for the Dem nom.

If my guess is correct, her minders will wait until the other potential Dem candidates all founder, pretend she does not want the POTUS job (playing the reluctant hero/victim), and graciously accept the nom (no need to for Dems to vote in a primary, of course.)

And, sharing the ticket? The America-hating veteran, Mark Kelley (if Jane Fonda and Dr. Evil had a son... that guy.

Again, just guesses, we'll see.

Hope the whistleblowers are watching under their cars with mirror devices and refusing to accept late night invitations to meet someone in the park. Hillary’s old service is still active.

He’ll get away with it-banged his friend’s wife. Same as Bubba. The thing is BJ had that likability gene and hair gel is as likable as-take your pick-Al Gore, Hillary, and John Kerry(who served in Viet Nam).

Methinks hair-gel is smart enough to read the tea leaves and will not run. It’s not characteristic of too many dems with people like Walz realizing the jig is up. Instead of doing the homework(tea leaves) they prefer to live in denial, chugging on. We got the same thing-Cornyn/Massie vs. Tillis. My hope is that DeSantis challenges Gavin to another debate when they’re both unemployed next year-2 big state governors-domestic issues only. DeSantis puts it out there b4 hair gel gives it up. It would be his last stand.

You know? DeSantis should take a fall in that one-heh heh.

Today must be polls day. The Maine Nazi is getting told, and Newsome is probably getting told as well.

Maybe these were the July 1st polls?

They're white males who happened to be straight.

That's a big no-no in the Democratic Party.

Fortunately, I see that as their Achilles' heel. Imagine if the Democrats found someone who was somewhat competent to replace Joe Biden in 2024.

The Investigation was started by Merrick Garland under President Biden.

Harvey Weinstein. That actually is NOT a joke. Newsom's wife made that claim that she was PROBED by Weinstein.
