"Newsom got a lot of heat from his fellow Democrats for his podcast chats with controversial figures on the right, but a new poll shows he seems to be making headway with a demographic where the left lost ground to President Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans: young men. The governor was undeterred by the criticism, saying that Democrats needed to get out of our own damn bubble on a May episode of his podcast."
"Over the past few months, Newsom has also taken a notably sharper and snarkier tone on his social media, blasting Trump and other key Republicans with a seemingly endless wave of memes, parodies, and mockery written in caps lock to mimic one of the president's personal writing foibles. Young male voters made a marked turn to the right in 2024."
California Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a lead with young male voters over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 matchup, according to a new poll. Newsom faced criticism from fellow Democrats for podcast conversations with controversial right-wing figures but continued engaging outside Democratic circles and intensified a sharp, snarky social media approach targeting Trump and key Republicans. Young male voters shifted notably to the right in 2024, with Trump increasing support among men ages 18–44 from 45 to 53 percent. The poll was conducted online Oct. 22–28 by League of American Workers/TIPP, sampled 2,100 registered voters (1,300 men), and was weighted by demographics; the male margin of error was +/- 2.8%.
