Kamala Harris bombs in humiliating new poll — but it’s also bad news for Gavin Newsom

A new poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies has found that California voters are rejecting former Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential 2028 presidential contender, while Gov. Gavin Newsom is leading with 28% of voters choosing him as their top choice. However, only a quarter of those in the Golden State are concerned about her lack of support. The poll also revealed that less than half of Californians (48%) approve of Newsom's job as governor, marking a drop from 51% approval in August. This is seen as a sign that Democrats are ready to move on from Harris, who lost to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
