The poll comes as Newsom has taken a more aggressive position in standing up to President Donald Trump.

The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.

    A month ago, I would have said the same thing. Right now though, he’s the only candidate I see standing up to Trump

    I don’t particularly like his policies, but I want someone either very progressive, or willing to get dirty

    The current regime is far too fascist for me to worry about whether someone is progressive enough
