SACRAMENTO, California — The majority of California voters think Gov. Gavin Newsom is devoting more of his attention to matters that could help him win the presidency than to governing the state, according to a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll.
Fifty-four percent of registered voters surveyed during the last week of April held that belief, compared to just 26 percent who did not see Newsom as more focused on the White House. The Democratic governor’s approval rating, however, held steady at 46 percent — around the same level as other Berkeley IGS polls from the last two years.
