  • A new poll finds many California voters are skeptical of Gov. Gavin Newsom's recent political shift.

A recent poll conducted by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times indicates that California voters are skeptical of Governor Gavin Newsom's political shift towards national issues, with only 29% approving of his focus on matters outside the state. The poll, which surveyed 7,512 registered voters, revealed that a significant majority, 52%, believe Newsom should concentrate on state issues, particularly with challenges like homelessness and housing affordability. Despite this, Newsom's overall job approval remains strong at 55%, though it has slightly declined from 58% in May. The poll also highlighted a partisan divide, with Democrats more supportive of Newsom's national engagement compared to Republicans and independents, who prefer he focus on California's domestic issues.
