Thursday’s DeSantis-Newsom TV Debate was a Ratings Winner for FOX News - American Thinker . . ."Critics of FOX News on the conservative right—many of whom predicted the demise of the 26-year-old channel after it parted ways with its most popular host, Tucker Carlson, last April—may be surprised to learn that FOX News has continued to maintain its long time #1 position among the competition and that it boasts 18 of the top 20 programs on all three of the cable news channels, as well.". . .
Newsom's Quixotic Renewable Energy Quest | City Journal (city-journal.org)
Californians need energy to sustain their massive economy, but the state’s leaders scorn abundance for green “idealism.”
. . ."In short, it takes an enormous measure of crude oil to keep the California economy running—and that’s before automobiles enter the picture. The commitment to erase oil and gas from the state’s energy portfolio appears to know no bounds. Newsom and other public officials seem unlikely to reverse course or even slow their pace. Proponents call this dedication to the green agenda idealistic, but consigning 39 million people to a future of blackouts seems worthy of a less flattering term." . . .
Governor or Showman? ‘Red State vs. Blue State Debate’ Exposes Newsom. - The American Spectator "When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom met to debate on Fox News on Thursday, Newsom was in a precarious position. At the start of November, the University of California, Berkeley, released a poll showing that the California governor’s approval rating had fallen to its lowest level on record, registering an 11-percentage-point decline from when the same poll was conducted in February 2023. Newsom’s approval rating, 44 percent, was even lower than his ratings following the French Laundry scandal, when the recall movement against him was booming.

"The reason for Newsom’s all-time-low poll numbers? The governor has been dallying around on the national stage while paying little heed to the numerous crises afflicting California. These crises include the state’s exodus of residents, shoplifting epidemic, rapidly rising energy prices, homeless population of 171,500, poor educational outcomes, exorbitantly high rents, open-air drug use, and mass departure of corporations. That’s not to mention the fact that California has one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates and the highest cost-adjusted poverty rate in the country.
"When the damning poll was released in early November, Mark DiCamillo, director of the poll, pointed to Newsom’s efforts to raise his profile on a national level. “He’s kind of taking on a new persona,” DiCamillo told the Los Angeles Times. “He’s no longer just the governor of California. He’s a spokesperson for the national party and basically voters are being asked to react to that.”
"The poll speaks for itself. Californians are not happy with Newsom’s subordination of the state’s numerous issues to his own self-aggrandizement. . . ." More here...
