The poll comes as Newsom has taken a more aggressive position in standing up to President Donald Trump.

The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.

    Yikes a transphobic dogwhistle and misinformation on sports. Trans women are biological women. Trans participating in sports was a non-issue in the us until the right started whining about it more recently. The International Olympic has stated that “no presumed advantage” based on sex assigned at birth or sex characteristics.

    Women are more likely to participate in sports when trans players are included.

    Cis-women receive harassment in sports because of comments like these.

    Let me guess you don’t care about women and girls facing inequitable facilities, pay, and marketing; abusive coaches; and racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment.

    Please folks learn more about the topic before listening to demagogues.

      Yikes a transphobic dogwhistle

      Yikes someone just jumped to a ridiculous conclusion. I’m not tranphobic. I don’t hate trans people the slightest bit. I just have a legitimate disagreement with you on this one thing.

      Let me guess you don’t care about women and girls facing inequitable facilities, pay, and marketing; abusive coaches; and racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment.

      You would guess wrong on all these things.

      Trans participating in sports was a non-issue in the us until the right started whining about it more recently.

      True enough. Now that they have given up on hating gays, they are going after trans.

      The International Olympic has stated that “no presumed advantage” based on sex assigned at birth or sex characteristics.

      Well now, if I hadn’t posted my mild comment that was removed for being politically incorrect, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to inform me and others about this would you? Maybe you would have changed my mind if the discussion had been allowed to proceed. That’s why censorship is counterproductive and stupid. If someone post things I disagree with I would rather correct them then censor them.

      At the time my comment was deleted, more people here approved of it than disapproved (4-3). So the censorship deprives yourself of the opportunity to convince others of your view.
