Love it or hate it? Poll shows how Californians feel about Newsom's redistricting fight with Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to temporarily redraw California’s congressional districts has more support than opposition — but with many voters undecided, the measure's prospects remain uncertain, a new poll found.

One thing, however, has become clear: Newsom’s standing with voters appears tethered to the fate of his high-stakes redistricting gamble.

The UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, conducted for the Los Angeles Times, asked registered voters about the Newsom-backed redistricting push favoring California Democrats, which serves as a counterattack to President Trump and Texas Republicans reworking election maps to their advantage.

When voters were asked whether they agree with California's redistricting maneuver, 46% said it was a good idea, while 36% said it was a bad idea. Slightly more, 48%, said they would vote in favor of the temporary gerrymandering efforts if it appeared on the statewide special election ballot in November. Nearly a third said they would vote no, while 20% said they were undecided.

1. He's gotta sell it

Big job

2. I'm in favor because the built-in sunset takes care of my only concern.

My initial reaction was the same as the League of Women Voters' since we did work hard to get the non-partisan commission. The LWV have always been too conservative for our own good (IMHO).

3. Sounds like it is not a done deal. Wish 60% or more supported it. Maybe that will come near vote.

4. I agree with it, and would vote for it

Keep fighting, Gavin!

7. It's a special election with no other items on the ballot

Turnout will be very low (20% or less) unless the “Yes” campaign can get their message across effectively and motivate people to get to the polls.

The “No” campaign has already hit the ground running and is well funded by a Christian Nationalist billionaire.

6. No one asked me

For the record, I'M FOR REDISTRICTING!!!
