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.

      We aren’t talking about city council…we are talking about the presidential election which has now turned America into an outright fascist police state.

        Better vote for a socialist next time instead of Fascism-lite, after-all it is the least you can do.

          No. I will vote for a candidate that has a chance. If the presidential candidate is a socialist and has a chance, absolutely. Otherwise, I’ll be voting for whatever isn’t Trump or MAGA.

            Lots of candidates have a chance in a democracy, you just have to vote for them. Of course this is the whole point of a democracy right? Do you have special knowledge about which candidates “have a chance?”
