The state\u2019s seven-day positivity rate had dropped to 5.8% on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California quickly became the epicenter of the second COVID-19 wave to strike the United States. But in addition to concerns that Newsom\u2019s government failed to control the spread of the coronavirus, California residents are angry over what they believe is a haphazard approach to coronavirus mitigation, forcing continued lockdowns and crushing California\u2019s economy with restrictions \u2014 restrictions he, himself, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/hdn\/hrlm\/p\/fastly_redirect.html?dm=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfchronicle.com%2Fpolitics%2Farticle%2FNewsom-attended-French-Laundry-party-with-more-15725393.php\">failed to follow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Political calculus outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/californias-gavin-newsom-will-likely-face-a-recall-election-but-hell-probably-survive-it\/\">FiveThirtyEight reported this week<\/a> that Newsom is likely to face a recall effort, and the outcome could be close. Just 52% of Californians approve of the job Newsom is doing, down from more than 60% in May of last year. FiveThirtyEight does point out, however, that most recall efforts are unsuccessful, and Newsom likely comes into his with a favorable voter landscape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats pull in notably larger statewide vote shares: Last November, President Biden garnered 63 percent in the Golden State after Hillary Clinton won 61 percent in 2016. Newsom also won far more support in his 2018 election win (62 percent) than Davis did in 2002 (47 percent).1 Correspondingly, far fewer Californians call themselves Republicans now,\u201d the outlet said. \u201cJust before the 2020 election, 46 percent of California voters were registered as Democrats while just 24 percent were registered as Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
