Election exit polls: California voters say Covid-19 biggest issue for state

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Covid-19 pandemic remains at the top of voters' minds, with about one-third saying it's the biggest issue for the state, according to a California exit poll conducted for CNN and other news networks by Edison Research.

That's followed by just over one-fifth saying homelessness, 1 in 6 saying the economy and wildfires, respectively, and slightly under one-tenth saying crime. Concerns vary across partisan lines: more than 4 in 10 Democrats call coronavirus their top issue, while only about one-fifth of Republicans say the same. On the flip side, Republicans are more than three times as likely as Democrats to name the economy as their top concern.

Voters have mixed outlooks on the pandemic's course in California, with about 4 in 10 saying the situation is getting better, 3 in 10 that it remains about the same, and just under one-quarter that it's worsening.

Under half of the electorate, about 45%, say Newsom's policies on the pandemic have been about right, with about one-third calling his policies too strict and the remainder saying they're not strict enough.

1. I called that last week and someone challenged me on that

Ha, I live in the state. It's a no shit moment. As soon as Covid exploded in Texas and Florida while things remained rather normal here, I knew people would calm down. Gavin's plan worked. The hospitals aren't jammed on case loads from Delta are going down, even with schools open for weeks now. He did it correctly and we're reaping the reward.
