Newsom's White House is undermined by Tepid California poll

The news about the presidential trend has taken another rut this week.

A new poll by the Los Angeles Times and UC Berkeley found that California registered voters believe that — by a more than 2-1 advantage, the state’s rich governor is more focused on increasing his chances of winning the White House than addressing the many problems he faces here.

If you think the best certificate for seeking a new job is the person you are doing, this is not good news.

The people surveyed are certainly mixed in news magazines, with 46% approval for his performance in his second and final semester. (Perhaps few (if any) have heard of Newsom's impossible political podcast.) The same percentage of registered voters said they disapprove of his performance in his job.

This is not a great look compared to other Democratic governors about the 2028 gossip factory.

Pennsylvania voters awarded its CEO Josh Shapiro, a healthy 59% approval rate, with Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer getting a favorable mark from 54% of voters. According to a national survey by Morning Consult, Andy Beshear of Kentucky’s Norker Consultant, his Red State has a 68% approval rate, the highest approval of any Democratic governor in the country.

Of course Newsom insists that he doesn't even have thinking Regarding the presidential campaign, despite the simple application of the duck test - if it wades and quacks like a duck, then you can reasonably determine its waterfowl condition - otherwise it is recommended that you do otherwise.

In a recent interview with video announcer Mark Halperin, the governor insisted that he was clearer about the 2028 run than people thought.

"I have to have a reason for burning, and I have to have a compelling vision to make myself different from anyone else. Without these, without both...I shouldn't even be in the conversation."

Always, very purposefully pushing yourself into conversations - like someone exposed, standing in a department store window and asking everyone why they are staring.

But no matter what.

Newsom's good news is that if he runs, California voters may not have a chance to weigh his presidential candidacy until they enter the nomination contest. By March 7, 2028 (currently scheduled for the state’s presidential primary), California will almost certainly continue its 50-year results to be relevant to the results.

Maybe the next century.

The full 2028 political calendar has not yet been determined. In 2024, Democrats rocked things at the request of President Biden, eliminating their kick-off core at Iowa and pushing South Carolina and Nevada into temporary. While there may be more changes in New Hampshire, which has been the first presidential primary for more than a century, it is likely to fall into its leading position, which may not be a bad thing for Newsom.

Concord lobbyist Jim Demers, the state capital and a long-time democratic activist, said California governor is the same as any Democrat's running thinking.

“Whether it’s Gavin Newsom, or (Illinois government) JB Pritzker, Shapiro or Whitmer, or (New Jersey Senator Cory) Booker (whoever) – people – people are ready to hear their voices and want to see who is really willing to attend Trump.

Newsom is "almost blank slate" in New Hampshire, he said. "Apart from knowing him, ordinary people really don't know much about him."

More importantly, Demers does not think that Newsom's California return address must be harmful.

“You might have Republicans who describe California candidates as left-handed liberals,” Demer said. “But I think you have a lot of Democrats … they look at a lot of policies that are happening in California and think they might be progressive, but forward-thinking.”

Dick Harpootlian is certainly not a Republican. He was a former chairman of the Democratic Party in South Carolina, a state senator and a senior in decades of presidential politics.

His tongue is sharp and irritating, like the beloved vinegar-grilled barbecue sauce in parts of his state, although he also has no early favorites – Harpootlian has little to say about the governor of California or his 2028 prospects.

“I think Gavin Newsom is the guy we all think of when we all think of a wealthy, wealthy California playboy.” “I mean, his hair matches perfectly. His shoes are shiny, probably Italian.

He continued: “Many of us remember that in the French laundry in Napa, he told everyone not to go out, he had to remember that he had a wonderful dinner in the French laundry. I just thought he had lost contact with the blue collar people and we needed to go back to the (Democratic) party.

Harpootlian suggests that California is not a particularly good place for political hail. He cited the state’s “large number of homeless people”, namely tent cities, i.e., imminent budget deficits and “that high taxes”.

He said lightly, “No,” the model that other parts of the country want to follow. ”

After a disastrous view of 2020, Iowa may have lost its privileged position on the political calendar forever, and it took several days to win the winner.

Still, Democratic strategist Jeff Link has practiced it over the years with dozens of presidential candidates. He worked six.

"I don't think 2024 is helping California's cause," Link said of the Democrats who used another San Francisco Democrat as their nominee. "But I don't think it's a death penalty."

Newsom may arrive in Iowa for some luggage. (Suppose he appears to be promising.) But "even in that state, even if it's too free and too weird at times," "I think people will be willing to learn more."

This shows that the news tilt at the White House is not completely far-fetched.

Suppose he was organized for the first time.
