"It's not a presidential election. Nor will California choose a new governor. But voters will go to the polls Tuesday in California and dozens of other states, deciding everything from local tax measures to high-profile races that could impact national politics. In short, Tuesday is the most significant election in the United states since last November, experts say, when President Trump defeated the Bay Area's Kamala Harris in the presidential race,"
"A CNN poll Monday showed voters aren't happy. Trump's approval rating was 37% - the lowest of his second term. A majority of voters said his polices have worsened the economy, hurt America's standing in the world, and that his immigration crackdown has "gone too far." But the same voters had an even lower view of the Democratic Party, giving it just a 29% approval rating."
Voters in California and dozens of other states will decide local tax measures and high-profile races on Tuesday. The contests represent the most significant elections since last November's presidential and congressional outcomes and will help gauge voter sentiment ahead of the 2026 cycle. California's Proposition 50 would redraw congressional districts and could cost five Republicans their seats, changing the state's delegation from 43 Democrats and 9 Republicans to an estimated 48-4. The measure followed President Trump's push for governors in red states to redraw district lines earlier in the year to boost Republican House prospects. A CNN poll showed Trump's approval at 37% and Democratic Party approval at 29%.
