Gavin Newsom's approval rating rose significantly from 38% to 56% following his public disagreement with Donald Trump regarding federal immigration raids in Los Angeles. While voters remain dissatisfied with various issues in California, the backlash against Trump appears to have positively influenced opinions of Newsom. Poll director John Gould noted that voters appreciate Newsom's stance against the former president. Despite this approval spike, 60% of voters still feel California is on the wrong track, reflecting concerns about governance overall.
"In early June, 38% of Californians approved of the overall job Newsom is doing as governor. After Newsom's fight with Trump, his approval rating soared to 56%."
"We found didn't change the view of the president at all. Californians, really, across the board, are not happy with President Trump. However, it did seem to change things in their views of the governor."
