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.

    Lesser of two evils is the only option.

    Voting for the lesser of two evils for 40 years got us Trump. So maybe try something else.

      Yeah, maybe try non participation like this other guy. You can only live out the fantasy for so long before you have to vote for a less ideal candidate. And trying something else is??? Voting for a different primary candidate? Or you’re saying sitting out is trying something else? Either way, the stance is milquetoast.
