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’ll never liberate America with conservative schmucks wearing blue like Newsom running the show either. He’s controlled opposition at best and actively moving further to the right with his anti-trans MAGA pandering.

      Agree. We need Progressives with strength and courage to primary the stodgy dead logs who are taking up space in DC.

      We have to beat the useless Establishment Dems before we can beat the MAGA Nazis. We need to be what the Republican Tea Party was in 2010.
