When it comes to homelessness, 66% of California voters believe their governor is doing either a “poor” job or a “very poor” job. When it comes to crime, Newsom’s ratings aren’t much better.
51% of Californians say the Democrat governor is doing either “poorly” or “very poorly” in regards to crime prevention and maintaining public safety.
The bigger truth about the numbers and polls
Last year, California residents had an opportunity to vote Newsom out of office during the state’s recall election. However, the Golden State chose to keep Newsom in the governor’s mansion. Some people would say they are now reaping the consequences.
Many people displeased with California’s leadership have already left the state. Therefore, the majority of individuals who remain are Democrats; in fact, data has shown Democrat voters in California outnumber Republican voters in California by just about two to one.
At the end of the day, the polls only matter if people vote accordingly. If majorities of Californians dislike Newsom’s management of crime and homelessness, yet still vote him (or other Democrats) into power, nothing will change.
