Californians are pumping the brakes on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars, with a new statewide poll showing the governor’s marquee climate policy has become a political headache.

Among likely voters, 65% said they oppose the plan, while just 34% support it. Opposition is even stronger among infrequent voters, signaling the governor faces broad resistance as he pushes one of his most aggressive climate initiatives.

A radical government policy that takes place years after you’ve left office is just fakery.
...and yet, he and his fellow travelers easily get reelected, time and again. Makes you wonder.
Newsome’s response to that will be “How can so many people be so wrong about my policies?”
Democrats might forgive him a lot because he has good hair. But his big mistake was not being born a black female.
“”” But his big mistake was not being born a black female.””
Kamala wasn’t a black female until they installed her as the nominee. Then they turned her black.
Only 4.49 years left. Haul arse.
Yes that is one of many infuriating mentalities of the democrat mind.
Goes all the way back to cankles.
“Your just not smart enough to understand what we want to do.
Not too many more things tick me off more than condesention and insulting my intelligence.
Due to motor voter vote fraud and ballot harvesting. Its an art form that started in California. Exactly why Dems want Save the Vote Act. So many local state senate and rep elections were stolen using the same tools.
“Climate Initiatives”
What a bunch of wankery.
These states are mandated that NEW cars sold must be electric, or use hydrogen fuels cells :
1. California
2. New York
3. New Jersey
4. Massachusetts
5. Washington (state)
6. Maryland
7. Oregon

He and the Democrat Party will need a new excuse and justification for stealing $$billions.
The climate change religion is much the same as the “Shakers”. The more devoted, the smaller the group will become until they die out with a whimper...
Yup.
grok claims 120,000 gasoline filling pumps in california ... consider that charging will take at least 10 times longer than filling a tank with gasoline, and they’ll need a minimum of 1,200,000 public WORKING charging stations ...
Why is that a “gut punch” for a guy who believes in nothing?
Too late suckers you aren’t voting your way out of this
Too bad for the voters that Newsome doesn’t give a crap what they think. California MUST have it ban on ICE cars or ELSE!
Doesn’t matter. They continue to vote for D state reps who don’t give a crap about them.
