Overview
- The PPIC survey reports Gavin Newsom’s job approval at 54% among adults and 56% among likely voters, up from 46% in June.
- PPIC surveyed 1,676 California adults from Nov. 13–19, with a sampling error of ±3.2 percentage points.
- Among likely voters, 62% said Proposition 50 was mostly a good thing for California, and 56% said the November special election was worth the cost.
- Proposition 50 returns redistricting power to the Democratic-controlled legislature and is described as potentially adding up to five Democratic-leaning U.S. House seats.
- The poll also finds the Legislature’s approval rising to 53% and only 25% of Californians approving of President Trump, with PPIC’s director citing a post–Proposition 50 mood.
