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 are doing something about it. And every time we do, a bunch of Democrats tell us how evil we are, before they run off to bomb kids, and back genocides.

        Progressives need to vote!

        “Okay, I will vote for the people who are better on important issues.”

        Stupid single issue voters, we don’t need you! We’ll win while supporting transphobia, racism, and illegal wars!

          I’m glad I was able to provide a jumping-off point for you and your buddies to LARP leftism, but I meant do something real.

        Oh nice… So I’ll have a legitimate progressive candidate to vote for in the upcoming primary then, right? Right?
