Governor Gavin Newsom is losing supporters left, right, and center. Recent polls from the Public Policy Institute of California show that less than half of likely voters approve of his governorship. A recent UC Berkeley poll, though presenting different statistics, noted that most of his approval was mild or passive\u2014essentially, people simply think he\u2019s \u201cmeh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What does this say about the state of California\u2019s government? To say the least, it\u2019s not stellar. A general sense of malaise in the government is plaguing California, and voters are sticking it to the man. Newsom is going to need more than just passive approval to get reelected, especially when his entire Democratic government is receiving heat from voters to do better.<\/span><\/p>\n

It should come as no surprise to the governor why his numbers are dropping. Digging through his policy only produces disappointment after disappointment. He\u2019s stirred up <\/span>dissent among his own party<\/span><\/a>, worsened <\/span>sky-high housing costs<\/span><\/a>, fought the <\/span>Trump Administration head-to-head<\/span><\/a>, allowed <\/span>the dumpster fire that is SANDAG<\/span><\/a> to fester, and destroyed the <\/span>freelance job market<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Californians don\u2019t like being lied to, and they certainly don\u2019t like their economy being driven into the ground. These disapproval ratings just prove that the Democrats in charge of California don\u2019t understand that their actions have consequences. If Newsom wants to play with fire, he shouldn\u2019t be upset when it burns his career as a politician.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
