Gavin Newsom Teases Possible 2028 VP Pick

Most voters say he’s focused on both state and national issues, but fewer believe he’s paying attention to their local concerns

By comparison, enthusiasm for former Vice President Kamala Harris was far lower at that time.

Fewer than a third of California voters — and just under half of Democrats — believe Harris should run again.

She previously represented California in the U.S

Senate and carried the state during her 2024 campaign.

Independents are broadly skeptical of both figures, but they are notably more open to a potential Newsom candidacy than a Harris return.

Beyond politics, the poll asked Californians how they think their state measures up nationally on key issues.
