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.

    Agreed. It’s that whole “perfect being the opposite of good” ideology. Every election year, it’s always the same thing- some socio-economic or political event gets them in a rage and they aren’t even aware that by-and-large, it’s the conservatives that are in the shadows, laughing their asses off while fanning the flames.

    The fracture their protest causes only helps the right. And their smug arrogance won’t ever lent them see it.

      We’re aware who is fanning the flames. We also see Democratic politicians holding a match and a can of gasoline, and we’re told that it’s our fault for asking for something better.
