New Poll Finds Newsom’s Job Approval Ratings Plunge Amid Looming Recall

A new study out of the left-leaning University of California-Berkeley found that Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s job approval ratings have plummeted in recent months as a drive to remove him from office forges ahead.

Citing a new poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, The Los Angeles Times reported, “less than half of California voters — 46% — approved on Newsom’s job performance.” According to the outlet, “just four months ago, Newsom had a 60% approval rating — among the highest of any California governor in the past 50 years at the same point in their first term.”
