54% of California Voters Believe Gavin Newsom Is Too Focused on Himself
Breitbart ^ | 05/08/2025 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 05/08/2025 6:39:20 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A new poll shows that 54% of registered voters believe that Governor Gavin Newsom is focused on his own presidential ambitions, versus 26% who believe he is focused on his job and the state — a two-to-one margin.

The University of California Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) poll, conducted in April among 6,201 voters, with a 2% margin of error, also found that Newsom’s approval and disapproval are at 46%.

A release accompanying the poll explained:

The survey … finds that Californians continue to hold very mixed and highly partisan views of the job Gavin Newsom is doing as governor, with equal proportions now reporting that they approve (46%) as disapprove (46%) of the Governor’s performance. Voters are also about evenly split when asked how confident they are in Newsom’s ability to be effective in looking out for California’s interests when dealing with the Trump administration, with 48% expressing confidence in the Governor and 45% saying they are not confident.

However, by a more than a two-to-one margin (54% to 26%), most voters believe that as Newsom serves out his final two years as governor, he is devoting more of his attention to things that might benefit himself as a possible candidate for president than to governing the state and helping to solve its problems.

The other 46% think that their butt looks fat in that dress.

From the 90% of California’s self-focused voters. Pretty funny.

“54% of California Voters”

Don’t care if 100% of Californians voters believe in something.

Newsome himself was unavailable for comment, being too engrossed in contemplating his own navel.

63% of California voters own a 72 hour whole body deodorant to cover up the stink of their fat asses for at least three days between their hose downs—and they’ll still vote for Newsom or Harris.

Californians just want more grifting for Californians instead of Newsome.

I live in Washington State, I know Liberals and their damn parasitic warped brains and dark little hearts.

And yet SOMEHOW, he and Democrats will still sweep the state.

Thanks to institutionalized fraud of things such as drive-up registration, illegals voting, ballot harvesting, mass mail-in ballots, taxpayer funding of leftist organizing “NGOs” - it will remain a one-party state.

Gee, the voters had two chances to get rid of him and wouldn’t do it. No sympathy.

You’re assuming that the recall voting was on the up and up.
