CA Recall: New Poll Shows Newsom Could Lose His Post

CALIFORNIA — While polls leading up to the summer showed that Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was still on track to hold onto his post, a recent poll suggested that his favoritism among voters could be slipping.

An Aug. 4 survey from USA and the San Diego Union Tribunefound that 51 percent of its 1,100 respondents would vote to recall Newsom and just 40 percent would keep him in office.
