California Governor Gavin Newsom will probably survive this month’s recall election, according to a poll by the Public Policy Institute of California.
With about two weeks to go before voting concludes on Sept. 14, the survey holds goods news for the Democrat trying to prevail in the second gubernatorial recall in the state’s history. Just 39% of likely voters say they back his removal from office, and 53% approve of the first-term governor’s performance.
