Tom Del Beccaro: Newsom recall election – here's why California governor is in real trouble

Gavin Newsom’s big government, union, and ultra-environmentalist centric policies have predictably failed California – and now he is facing a recall election on September 14.

Often politicians can often overcome bad policies – but not bad personalities – and that is the biggest problem Newsom faces. He is not liked. The most recent recall poll garnered this headline from the San Francisco Chronicle: "Shock Poll shows Gavin Newsom losing recall vote by double digits." The numbers are 51% for the recall and 40% against in the blue state of California. In another poll, 58% say they don’t want him to run for governor in 2022.
