Gavin Newsom is plummeting.<\/p>\n<p>According to a just-completed Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) poll among likely voters statewide, 57% would vote &#8220;no&#8221; on recalling Newsom while only 40% would vote &#8220;yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The same poll showed a majority of California voters (54%) approve of his job performance as governor and a robust 64% approve of his handling of the COVID crisis.<\/p>\n<p>But with more than enough signatures to put the question of recalling Newsom on the ballot sometime this year, Republicans are far from conceding the referendum on the Democrat&nbsp;governor is over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With power shortages, blackouts, and fires still occurring throughout California, the covid crisis is not the only thing voters will be judging Newsom on \u2014 not by a long short,&#8221; California\u2019s GOP National Committeeman Shawn Steel told Newsmax Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Steel also emphasized that the proposed teaching in public schools of &#8220;critical race theory,&#8221; which presupposes racism is embedded in society, has stirred up parents and would generate support for recalling Newsom.<\/p>\n<p>Steel, however, made clear that he and fellow GOP leaders have not endorsed any of their party\u2019s alternatives for governor if Newsom is recalled.&nbsp; Among them are celebrity Kaitlin Jenner, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, and 2018 nominee John Cox.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we\u2019re hearing a lot about [former ambassador to Germany and Donald Trump\u2019s Acting Director of National Intelligence] Ric Grenell,&#8221; Steel told Newsmax.&nbsp;&#8220;But nothing is official yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under the same rules that resulted in the 2003 recall of Democrat&nbsp;Gov. Gray Davis and his replacement by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, if a majority of voters decide Newsom should be recalled, then the top vote-getter of alternative candidates for governor regardless of party will succeed him in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s preposterous to say that the question of whether Newsom should remain governor is all wrapped up and done now,&#8221; said Steel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Gizzi is chief political columnist and White House correspondent for Newsmax.
