The political future of the governor of California Gavin Newson The battle for masks broke out on the same day that a poll reported that he had only a weak lead before the recall election in September. This may be a problem.
After discovering that the organization did not mandate wearing masks, Newsom pulled his two older children from a summer camp in the state, which was necessary in California.
On the same day Newsom’s office announced that his children had been taken out of the camp, Polls University of California, Berkeley Institute of Government (IGS) Los Angeles Times It was found that the Democratic Party led by a faint 3 points in the recall election scheduled for September 14.
The IGS poll found that Californians most likely to vote In the recall, 50% want to keep the governor, while 47% want him to be removed from office.
The 3% difference is within the margin of error of the polls. The other 3% of respondents have not yet decided.
However, among the total registered voters, the number of people who support the retention of Newsom is even higher, with 51% opposed to his removal. Only 36% of registered voters support his removal. Thirteen percent is undecided. This means that election turnout may be crucial.
Eric Schickler, co-director of IGS, said: “At least so far, Democratic Party They have not yet seen the recall as a big threat, so they have not mobilized.
“The governor seems to be betting that in the past six weeks, his campaign team will have enough funds to advertise, work on the ground, and deliver everything it needs to communicate to voters. This will be a huge challenge for them.”
Newson campaign representative Nathan Click told Weekly newspaper Tuesday: “This poll should be a wake-up call for Democratic voters and all those who don’t. Hope to see Trump Republicans become governor of California.”
He added: “In a normal election, there will be no snowball in Death Valley this time the Republicans are removed. Californians don’t want the Republicans to take over our state, but if the Democrats don’t vote, this is what can happen. “
After the summer camp quarrel, Newsom also faced new criticisms of the regulations on wearing masks. California requires masks to be worn indoors in K-12 environments such as schools and summer camps.
Reopening California schools, one objected COVID-19 restrictions on keeping children at home, Said they recognized Newsom’s 10-year-old son in an online photo of a basketball training camp. In the photo, the children are not wearing masks indoors.
The organization said on Twitter: “This obviously violates his own mask regulations.” “Why can his children not wear masks, but our children can’t?”
Irene Mellon Statement on Tuesday, Said: “The Newsons are worried about seeing unvaccinated children exposed indoors in a camp where their children started yesterday. After seeing this, they took the children from the camp.
“The family checked the camp’s communications and found that an email was missing, stating that the camp will not enforce masking instructions. Their children will no longer participate in this camp.
Reopen California Schools and Let Them Breathe, another parent organization, are suing Newsom and the state’s top health officials, asking them to wear masks for children. Whether or not children are vaccinated, they must wear masks at school.
