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.

      If people really wanted Dems to prioritize labor issues, then Dems who prioritized labor issues would win primaries.

          Nonsense. Bernie lost because he is unpopular among Black voters. And polls consistently show that Democratic voters prioritize other issues over labor.

            Bernie lost because the DNC screwed him over. Calling him a racist is one of the many ways that they did that.

            I agree that voters prioritize other issues over labor, but the Democratics refuse to take action on those issues as well. Maybe they could try doing what the voters want for a change, and see if people come out to support them.

              Did the DNC make Sanders say this?

              You know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American

              The top issues are among Democrats right now are inflation and civil rights, and that’s what they are focusing their messaging on.
