SACRAMENTO (KPIX) — CBS News on Tuesday night projected that the “no” vote will win the recall election, meaning Governor Gavin Newsom will remain in office.
Most Californians voting in the recall election said they approve of the job Newsom is doing as governor, and those who did overwhelmingly voted against the recall that would have removed Newsom from office.
More than half of voters in this election said they felt Governor Newsom was “in touch” with the needs and concerns of Californians.
The “no” vote won out with with most demographic groups: majorities of both men and women, White and non-White voters, and voters of all age groups all voted against the recall.
California Democrats had a massive advantage in party registration, and no Republican has won a statewide race since 2006. But the current issues facing the state and worries that the special election could be a bellwether for elections in 2022 brought national attention to the race.
Early ballots had broken 52% Democratic and 25% Republican in terms of party registration, according to elections data firm L2 — this early Democratic advantage was in line with expectations given that Republicans were more likely to turn out on Election Day.
