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.

        Refusing to vote instead of voting for the clearly better option is absolutely pathetic. Yes. Making posts cussing at people and accusing them of helping Trump get power and in other posts making statements that they themselves won’t vote in the presidential election if it’s not their perfect candidate.

        Pathetic.
