The poll also reflected that homelessness will be a hotbed issue for California voters during the 2022 gubernatorial race. Two out of three voters surveyed – or roughly 66% – said Newsom is doing a "poor" or "very poor" job in handling the issue of homelessness. That’s up 12 percentage points from 2020.
