Gov. Gavin Newsom’s standing among California voters has hit an all-time low, with 49% disapproving of his performance as governor, according to a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times.
The survey showed Newsom’s popularity has tumbled this year as he continues to amplify his national profile and campaign outside of the Golden State to support President Biden and attack Republican governors and their conservative political agendas.
Newsom’s approval rating was 44% in the late October poll, an 11-point slide from February when 55% of voters approved of his performance. His disapproval among California voters increased 10 percentage points from earlier this year.
“He’s kind of taking on a new persona,” said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Berkeley poll and a longtime California pollster. “He’s no longer just the governor of California. He’s a spokesperson for the national party and basically voters are being asked to react to that.”

It’s because he’s a horrid governor. We had the chance to recall him, and unfortunately, the people who get handouts every month, didn’t want to do that.
@ThrilledEggs6mos6MO
Amazing he's not underwater at this point
@JubilantHyenaDemocrat6mos6MO
I'm surprised that only 49% disapprove of his performance. Who are the 51% that think he is doing a good job???
@EggsEmiliaLibertarian6mos6MO
Where are the 51%? I was in the recall and I did meet a couple people who liked him, fast forward two years and I can’t find a single soul who likes him. I go to a lot of non-political events and speakers talk about him in a negative way all the time and all the people cheer!
