A new poll is now showing that California Governor Gavin Newsom is now looking significantly stronger than Vice-President Kamala Harris in a potential 2024 showdown to replace President Biden as the Democratic party’s standard bearer.
As The San Francisco Gate reports:
With California Gov. Gavin Newsom continuing his foray into national politics by running ads in Florida, it was only a matter of time until he was included in 2024 general election polling.
A recently released Yahoo News/YouGov survey conducted between June 24-27 polled hypothetical 2024 matchups between President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Newsom on the Democratic side against former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on the Republican side.
The poll found Biden leading Trump 42% to 40% and DeSantis 41% to 37%. It found Harris tied with Trump 41% to 41%, but matched Biden’s margin against DeSantis at 41% to 37%.
Newsom has reportedly been testing the waters recently for a potential 2024 run by paying for attack ads in Florida going after the state’s popular Conservative Governor Ron DeSantis.
