Newsom’s Polling Among Key Constitue

Newsom Leads Early Democratic Polls

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has emerged as an early frontrunner for Democrats in the 2028 presidential race.

A Yahoo News/YouGov survey found him at 21%, ahead of Kamala Harris (19%),

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (12%), and Pete Buttigieg (10%).

Weak National Ratings

Despite leading the Democratic field, Newsom struggles nationally.

A Cygnal poll gave him a net approval of -5. He fares poorly with non-college voters,

who disapprove 48% to 27%, and trails swing voters by 12 points.

Key Constituencies at Risk

Analysts warn, “early polling hints at Newsom’s weak spots with key constituencies,

particularly non-college voters and independents.”

He also faces disapproval among college-educated men, highly active voters, and some religious Black Democrats.

Controversy Online

Newsom’s team drew criticism after posting, “Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today.

You’re welcome, America.” The remark was referred to the Secret Service.
