Gavin Newsom's Podcast Backfires

Gavin Newsom's new podcast appears to be harming the public perception of the California governor, according to a poll.

A survey of 1,000 California voters conducted by Capitol Weekly found that 26 percent said their view of Newsom worsened after hearing clips from his recent podcast interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, 13 percent said the podcast improved their perception of the Democratic governor, with 58 percent saying it made no difference.

The survey of 1,000 adults was conducted between March 8-11. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
