Love it or hate it? Poll shows how Californians feel about Newsom's redistricting fight with Trump [View all]
Gov. Gavin Newsoms plan to temporarily redraw Californias 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: Newsoms 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.
