Love it or hate it? Poll shows how Californians feel about Newsom’s redistricting fight with Trump
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Plan to temporarily redefine California’s congress regions have more support than the opposition – but many voters were uncertain, while the expectations of the measure remained uncertain.
However, something became clear: the fact that Newsom stops with voters seems to be dependent on the fate of the high -betted red distribution gambling.
The UC Berkeley Government Research Institute survey for Los Angeles Times asked registered voters about the influence -supported redistribution pressure, which re -worked as a counter -attack that reinstates the election maps of President Trump and Texas Republicans on their own benefits.
When the voters were asked whether they accepted California’s redistribution maneuver, 46% said it was a good idea, while 36% said it was a bad idea. A little more, 48%, in November, if the state -wide private election vote appeared in favor of temporary Gerrymandering efforts, he said. Almost one -third said they would vote for no, and 20% were unstable.
“This is not bad news,” Mark Dicamillo, the director of the Berkeley IGS survey, said. He said. “It may be better. With the ballot measures, you want to be over 50% because you need to vote yes, and when people are unstable or you don’t have enough information about initiatives, they tend to vote only because they are safer votes.”
Among the voters who voted regularly in state -wide elections, general support for redistribution rose to 55% compared to 34%.
Dicamillo said it was important.
“If I had chosen a subgroup you would like to have an advantage, it would be it,” he said.
The high -betting struggle on political borders can shape the control of the US house, where Republicans currently have a narrow majority. Newsom and democratic leaders say California should match the Partizan Map Movement to maintain the balance in Congress. Texas’s plan is formed five new republican -prone seats that can secure GOP’s majority at home. California’s efforts are at least the attempt to temporarily cancel these gains. New maps will be available for 2026, 2028 and 2030 congress elections.
However, critics say the plan undermines the state’s voter -approved independent redistribution commission and does not reject the other.
Not surprisingly, the Partizan struggle on election maps revealed deeply partisan results in the survey. Approximately 7 out of 10 democratic voters would support the redistribution measure and republicans shifted the plan (72%).
Former president Obama approved itCalifornia’s old Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a moderate republican, said he would fight the New York Times. This week, he faced an opposition in Sacramento. During the legislative hearings Republicans detonated this as a partisan game playing. The California Republicans tried to stop the process by offering an emergency petition at the State Supreme Court, arguing that the Democrats had rushed the proposal through the legislative Assembly and violated the California constitution. The Supreme Court rejected legal difficulties on Wednesday.
The effort was moved quickly by all accounts, the new re -processed maps were released late last week, and until Monday, deputies brought legislation to put deputies in front of the voters. In November, the MPs approved these invoices, which maintained the place of the measure in the ballot compass, on Thursday.
Newsom, which has become the face of California’s redistribution effort, saw that once the secret approval ratings were moving up while taking Trump and Republican leaders. Beyond the high -profile pressure to reshape the congress regions of the state, he attracted the last attention with a social media campaign that mimic his own unique duties of his office Trump.
The governor, who represented a return from April on which the voters are divided into 46% on both sides, approves more voters than approved (51 to 43% to 43%). The questionnaire, which investigated 4,950 registered voters online in English and Spanish, was conducted between 11-17 August.
The majority of the participants – 59% – support Newsom’s war against Trump, while 29% want to adopt a more collaborative approach. Young voters especially supported the shaping of Newsom as Trump’s leading critic, and 71% of those aged 18 to 29 supported the approach.
Matt Lesenyie, an assistant assistant assistant at Cal State Long Beach, said that it would be more responsibility a month ago to own it as the face of Newsom’s redistribution campaign. However, Newsom’s profile rises nationally during the spiral struggle on congress maps and became buoy with productive Trump trollling that hit a nerve with conservative commentators. This said that Newsom has opened a lane to spread the campaign’s message wider.
“If it continues at this speed, at a point of pressure.” He said.
Political Scientist Eric Schickler, the co-director of the Berkeley Institute, said that he wanted voters to give back the control of the distribution temporarily-newly after the voters made the process independent.
“Voters don’t trust politicians,” Schickler said. “On the other hand, voters see Trump and don’t like what they do. And so seeing which of them is stronger was really a test, and the results show that at least for now, Newsom has won this argument.”
However, winning in November will require pushing unstable voters to the finish line. Latin, black and Asian voters, about 30% of the red distribution of how to vote on how to vote, he said. Women also have the rates of being unstable to 25% to 14% compared to men. Young voters are also more likely to be above the fence, he says that 18-29-year-old children are not sure compared to 11% of those older than 65 years of age.
There are still some skeptics about the proposal among the democrats. One of the 5 people who participated in the survey were undecided, he said. One quarter of voters who do not have a party preference say they are undecided.
“This shows that there are a lot of votes on the table.” He said. “The margin is not surprised if it was narrowed between now and November, but a good place for the start of the proposition.”
