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.

      This is a really easy perspective to have from outside a concentration camp.

      I hate Democrats as much as the next informed person, but I’d much rather have political reform under a corporatist than an oligarchy

        How about this time we do the right thing… There’s no lesser of two evils here.

        Its the elite. Whatever their political stance.

          There most certainly is a lesser of two evils. You’re speaking from a position of immense privilege to claim the opposite

            No I’m not. I was raised on govt cheese and donated Xmas. Open floors and foraging more than shopping.

            The only privilege I have in THIS fight, is the Nazis don’t swing at white people as fast.

            Im speaking from someone who was born before the moon landing and pushed I to a system of poverty that pulls you down no matter his much false hope is given you . you’re speaking from a position of having others fight for you.

            I’m fighting for me and my family. Do what’s right, not convenient.
