Gavin Newsom increased in July and Californians are now split on the issue, according to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll released Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2021-07-27\/likely-california-voters-now-almost-evenly-split-on-newsom-recall-poll-finds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a>&nbsp;found that 47% of likely voters in California supported recalling Newsom while 50% opposed, a gap within the margin of error. This marks a shift from April when 36% of likely voters supported the recall.<\/p>\n<p>High enthusiasm for the Sept. 14 recall election among Republicans could overcome Democrats\u2019 partisan advantage in the state, the Los Angeles Times reported. Ninety percent of Republicans reported a high degree of interest in the poll compared to 53% of independents and 58% of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Republicans comprise 33% of those likely to cast a ballot in the recall election despite accounting for only about 25% of the state\u2019s registered voters, the poll found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats, at least in the middle of July, almost unanimously believed that Newsom will defeat the recall. I think that may be contributing to some complacency among those voters. Republicans, on the other hand, are confident that they can turn out the governor,\u201d poll director Mark DiCamillo said to the Los Angeles Times. \u201cI think the Newsom campaign really has to light a fire among the Democrats and say, \u2018Look, the outcome is in jeopardy unless you get out there and vote.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the recall election, Californians will also vote for a replacement candidate for Newsom if he is successfully recalled.
