A recent survey reveals a surprising shift in California’s political landscape, with nearly half of likely voters open to electing a Republican governor in the 2026 election. This marks a significant change in a state known for its Democratic dominance. The survey, carried out by veteran pollster David Wolfson, sheds light on Californians’ growing dissatisfaction with current leadership.
Despite Republicans making up just 25% of the registered voters in California, the poll indicates a willingness to cross party lines for meaningful change. The poll was conducted from March 6 to 9, targeting likely voters for the November 2026 election. It underscores a pivotal moment for the state’s GOP, suggesting an opportunity to break the Democratic stronghold.
Gas prices, a long-standing issue, have become a major concern, with 83% of voters stating they are too high. Californians are feeling the pinch at the pump, driving discontent with the state’s current energy policies. This concern is compounded by the fact that 69% of voters believe political leaders are failing to bring down energy and utility costs.
The high cost of living remains a pressing issue, with 71% of voters feeling it hasn’t been adequately addressed by the governor and legislative leaders. Many Californians are struggling to make ends meet in a state where living expenses continue to soar. This discontent is fueling a growing desire for a change in leadership.
Support for fully funding anti-crime Proposition 36 is strong, with 73% of voters backing the measure. The lack of full funding for this initiative highlights concerns about public safety and crime prevention. Californians are expressing a clear demand for more effective crime-fighting strategies.
Homelessness remains a significant problem, with 72% of voters identifying it as a major issue. The state’s inability to effectively tackle homelessness is a source of frustration for many residents. This ongoing challenge underscores the need for new solutions and leadership.
The survey also reveals that 60% of voters oppose providing free healthcare to undocumented immigrants. This sentiment reflects broader debates about immigration policy and resource allocation in the state. Californians are calling for a more measured approach to healthcare access.
In the wake of recent wildfires, there is strong support for a full independent investigation, with 62% of voters backing the initiative. The devastating impact of these fires has sparked demands for accountability and better disaster management. This issue is yet another area where voters are seeking change.
Only 24% of Californians believe transgender males should compete in female sports, indicating a conservative stance on this contentious issue. This reflects broader cultural debates that are playing out across the country. The survey highlights the complexity of opinions on gender and sports participation.
Owen Brennan, president of Madison McQueen, notes that voters are increasingly dissatisfied with California’s one-party rule. Brennan emphasizes that the quality of life is declining while the cost of living continues to rise. He suggests that with the right leadership, Republicans have a unique opportunity to make significant gains.
The upcoming election cycle presents a potential turning point for California Republicans. There is a sense of urgency among voters who are eager for policies that address their daily challenges. The message is clear: Californians are ready for a government that prioritizes their needs.
As the 2026 election approaches, the political landscape in California could undergo a dramatic transformation. The survey results suggest a growing appetite for change among a diverse electorate. This shift could redefine the state’s political future.
The potential for a Republican resurgence in California is more than just a possibility; it’s a growing reality. Voters are demanding accountability and effective governance. The opportunity for change is ripe, and the GOP must seize it with strategic vision.
The issues outlined in the survey are a call to action for California’s political leaders. Addressing these concerns with decisive policies could shift the political tide. The time for complacency is over, and the demand for change is palpable.
This survey serves as a wake-up call for Democrats who have long held power in California. The dissatisfaction among voters is a clear signal that the status quo is no longer acceptable. New leadership is needed to address the pressing issues facing the state.
California’s political dynamics are shifting, and the 2026 election could be a turning point. Voters are expressing a strong desire for change, driven by economic and social concerns. The GOP has a unique opportunity to capitalize on this momentum.
The challenges facing California are significant, but they also present an opportunity for bold leadership. Voters are ready for new solutions that prioritize their needs and improve their quality of life. The political landscape is ripe for transformation, and the future is uncertain but full of potential.
I guess Commifornia has had a wake up call finally, Communist Democrats aren’t by any means a leader but they’re really good at stealing taxpayers money and lieing while the only ones living well are the Illegals and the Communist Democrats.
The population is struggling to provide for their families with the increasing tax hikes, and the constant bullshit regulations Newscum puts on them. Newscum is trying to decrease the American Citizens in order to replace them with Criminal illegal invaders by any means necessary.
All Communist Democrats must be voted out but after what they’ve done to destroy the State it’ll take years to recover.
Have they learned a lesson.? Probably not, and the question is where did all the $Billions of borrowed money go.? Billions didn’t finish the bullet train and Billions borrowed for financial help are missing as well. Time will tell in the upcoming Election.

Amazing theres that many democrats that are smart. Who would have thought they would vote republican.
Michael, this I quote is the clincher! “All Communist Democrats must be voted out but after what they’ve done to destroy the State it’ll take years to recover.”
I believe it’s already “too little too late” and Californication is like “a huge festering cancerous tumor” on America now! In other words more than taking “many years to even try fixing it” I say it’s already “too far gone!” I wish I could be wrong about this but the amount of “physical and mental damage done” to that state and its bulk of citizenry is like “a bridge too far to repair and cross!” I’ve seen photos along rail lines where so many freight cars have been broken into and ransacked with mountains of trash and debris all over the rail line corridor, which I say between that and what say as an example what San Francisco has turned into which is like a human cesspool, it all adds up to “a Third World Nightmare bordering hell on earth!”
What the “Leftists” propelled by the “Marxist Enemies of America” both here and abroad have done is “accelerate the; destroy from within plan,” starting with the always “very progressive liberal CA,” now a scene of things to come for other areas of these United States, many progressive far left movements started in CA. and went elsewhere in the U.S., look at Oregon or Washington all the way to New York! Even if much of the physical damage throughout could all be restored to new condition again, the massive bloated indoctrinated and even deranged populations out there can’t be fixed for decades, which by that time it won’t even matter “the fall” will have happened!
Sure I pray to Jesus that “miracles can and will come to right all of this wrong and bring restoration” but, I think far too many “blew it” years ago when it all “could have and should have” been prevented from happening in the first place; and that was because “far too much sin” was preferred over the right way to live and carry on humanity; like a “new story of Sodom and Gomorrah!”
Just like that POS Newscum a real devil, “too many sold out” for easy money and self-glory or worship! And a large portion of the population wanted to play the “willfully ignorant game” of just “live for today and to hell with worrying about tomorrow;” and so there they are!
All that money is gone as in stolen!
Lawrence, suppose you’re right on Commifornia being to far gone, but by some miracle there could be a spark of repair, and like you said it’ll take decades to recover and that’s why I said I doubt the Communist voters will vote Republican.
And only time will tell.
Then again Commifornian’s must love living under a Dictatorship with homelessness, filth, feces everywhere, fires burning down homes, trash spread out, no water, Homosexuality, my God I could go on forever.
If the voters do put in another Communist Democrat then we the American Citizens should petition Commifornia be deemed a Communist State and nolonger be part of the United States.
@ Lawrence: “I’ve seen photos along rail lines where so many freight cars have been broken into and ransacked with mountains of trash and debris all over the rail line corridor……”
You know who is doing all that theft, don’t you? I’ve seen those videos, and one of (those types of) cretins robbing convenience stores, gas stations, Department Stores, Walmart and even an Amazon truck. The “gibs me dat” bunch steals everything not bolted down and leave a trail of trash wherever they go. Until we can deport all of them to Africa, nothing will change.
Mayhem is the game, and Soros has always been a master architect of it, so now its on a scale never seen in America because two terms with that SOB from hell Obama and then the third with Biden/Harris they socked the screws to America but good!
Brother Michael you say it right with this quote; “only time will tell,” which is how my Dad always put things into perspective that are so messed up!
And again you point out the crux of it all and say it how it is with this clincher; “American Citizens should petition Commifornia be deemed a Communist State and no longer be part of the United States.”
I think it may very well have to come to that fairly soon, Newscum and his “band of thieves” have robbed that state blind and have been and are still “trying to suck the rest of the Nation into that vortex of RIPOFF,” via so much of our Federal Tax Dollars by the $Billions also just vanishing!
What would tell me that Commifornia is “on the right track” and having “lots of hope” is to see “actual HARD ACCOUNTABLITY,” starting with “Newscum and his band of desperadoes being rounded up” and tossed head first into the slammer for life! “Where is the Justice?” All the “lying, thieving and destruction of a State and nobody goes to jail;” come on people “the damned thing is rigged to the clouds” and the bad guys like the evermore evil Soros in the shadows have been laughing at all of us chumps for decades!
Oh yea, “Time Will Tell” for Sure, and “those that did the ruin are going to be stewing” in that “hellish cauldron” paying “eternally” for their evil!
Thank you Brother for all you do!
Well stated brother, and your very welcome.
Another problem has risen, look at that Communist State New York, the very stupid voters looks like they are going to put Cuomo back in.
For the very life of me I can’t understand all the Stupidity in this nation. It’s as if they like being screwed over with Injustice.!
Michael, that is totally insane and I think this shows how morals along with common decency and common sense are at an all-time LOW! That makes Zero Sense, the A-hole is a crooked as they come narcissist wicked man and they had to kick his ass out of the job to install that witch Hochul now they want to go back to the original devil they had; totally screwed in the head people!!!
I suppose I should just figure the Devil runs those states of New York and Commifornia, no matter who runs and wins it will just be the Devil’s choice of puppet; even Biden is back on X saying he will play a huge role in the Demoncrap party!!! NUTS!!!
If this continues “the world is virtually heading to hell in a hand basket!”
“The World is virtually heading to hell in a hand basket”
You made it very truthful as usual brother, and if that’s not upside down enough take a look at the crowds showing up at events cheering for AOC after her announcement to run for President in 2028.
One event showed over 3,000 total idiots backing that Anti-American Bitch.
Those stupid assholes must have had their brains removed and hypnotized to voting Communist Democrats..
America has lost it’s morals, self pride, honesty, dignity, and common sense. Those Communist voters believe that there’s something better than Freedom, And the pursuit of happiness.
America and the World may very well be spiraling to hell.!
You can teach them to fish and they’ll still have their hands out, (Taken from the original quote (“Teach a Man to Fish”) but you understand my thoughts.
Lawrence, you might want to read my post about Obama, and what I found out on The GOP lawmakers are to Codify the DOGE and what Communist Muslim Obama done with USAID.
Michael, absolutely I want to read those and will do!!!
Thank you very much Brother!
God bless you and yours.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
HELL, is all I see when we are in a Nation where that punk evil bitch isn’t locked up already and instead is being offered as our President!!!
She isn’t fit to run a shit-house let alone the United States of America! She’s been a freaking bartender is all and just all rotten mouth!
She may be what the prophecies talked about in modern times as to the Whore of Babylon rising in America! I know she is demonically possessed! Schumer has gone full throttle EVIL and Madman!!!
“Force them to either change their votes or face the consequences!” Gee sounds like Satan’s Chucky Boy is still of the same mindset and dark soul as when he even told SCOTUS Justices;”I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” when he wanted to control!
Looks to me that the time which is long overdue has finally come to put evil Schumer where he belongs, behind bars as a Seditious Traitor!
Include AOC with that sentencing!
Yes, yes, yes.!
Unreal that she isn’t in prison just for what she pulled with tipping off Illegal Invaders about ICE; aiding and abetting on a Federal Level like this is Treason or at least Sedition! OK, I have to chill and have faith that justice is coming and when its time! Oh man she is a absolutely Commie Enemy of America, in our Government!!!
Agreed, Lawrence. If it’s a DemoRat/Leftist- it’s the spawn of Satan. Nothing good comes from those people or those that support them.
Absolutely correct!
@ Michael Smith: I agree with you: People who vote for DemoRats are stupid assholes. Then when they have had enough of the mess they have created for themselves, they relocate to a different State and fck them up too. I see it happening in my (fly over) State. Years ago the pricks on the Left poked fun at us, but now they want to move here. Fck those people.
Every time I see an out-of-state license plate, I’m thinking “I hope they’re just visiting.”
Thank you MyNameIsNobody.
Good news just came into my view; AG Pam Bondi just stated; “We are seeking the death penalty again [for] horrible, violent criminals… they will face the death penalty.”
Now Rule of Law can and will be upheld, Justice Will Be Served!
She was my Pic before she was confirmed. Don you just love her.?
Michael, just like my Dad again growing up he used to say you have to know how to pick them! And oh you sure knew what you were talking about Brother!
YES, I do absolutely love her, she is a fine, outstanding, honorable and great woman! I have to pray for her and all of the many wonderful people that are part of this Great Administration!
God bless them all!
In Jesus’ name I pray!
Amen.
Oh sure. Now that Californication has been reduced to a burned out, 3rd world sh*t hole, the Dems are scrambling like rats jumping from a sinking ship.
I hope the morons who voted for the DemoRats are proud of themselves. California’s mess is YOUR fault. Stay there and fix it. Don’t move to other states and ruin them too.
Correct again! But this is far worse than many people are realizing and could get exponentially worse if this isn’t taken care of the right way fast!
Already the Evil Madness begins with none other than the Biden’s on a rant about doing more to boost the Demoncrap Agenda! I just stated the following on this site at another location, about this Biden crap!
This clown act if it wasn’t so diabolically ludicrous and off the wall it might be a bit funny; but funny it’s not; and I say “it’s about time the other shoe drops, and time to pay the piper!” This Traitor and his complicit wife should be charged with multiple crimes for their shenanigans of a treasonous nature while in the White House playing pretend president, who actually was only a “puppet for the Deep State” and “specifically used to advance an Anti-American Marxist agenda,” for many nefarious characters like Soros and even the CCP!
Biden’s entire presidency was strewn with “more acts of Sabotage against the American Citizens, Nation and the Constitution than had occurred in the last 100 years! Starting with the intentional Afghanistan debacle from the get goes! Or how about weaponization of the DOJ and assassination attempts on Trump, with too many other crimes to mention here!
If he is so fit to “engage” as he and his controlling wicked wife say, then they can “face the music for all of their hidden crimes and agenda” which should put them in GITMO, to face the ultimate justice!
I hope everyone is aware now of the truth that he is nothing but a Demonic Puppet and that party (Demoncrap) is a cauldron of them!
Absolutely on target brother, the first one to be arrested and prosecuted is the Muslim Obama, then down the line such as,
Hillary, Wrey, Schumer, Schif, Warren, Green, Pelosi, Biden, the entire cast on the J6 committee, Justice Roberts, Jack Smith, Cortez, Omar, then on down the line.
Pam Bondi is working nonstop on evidence to convict Traitors and it’ll take time, believe me I had to do the same thing when investigating crimes.
If anyone’s going to do that, Bondi is the person to get it done.
Yes Michael, those Traitors NEVER cared one Iota about America or We the People! They will pay the ultimate price of eternal damnation!
Alexander Hamilton First US Secretary of the Treasury “In my opinion, the present constitution is the standard to which we are to cling…. Let an association be formed to be denominated ‘The Christian Constitutional Society,’ its object to be first:
The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”
Apr. 16-21, 1802, Letter to James Bayard
Yes, Michael I understand how you are so right about what a painstaking process it is to gather proper uncontaminated and solid airtight evidence that can’t be contested!
That “Devil’s own Obama” surely must be the first to face the “Great Campaign of Justice” that is now moving throughout the Nation under “a new forthright administration” propelled by “genuine integrity and virtue!”
I thank God in Jesus’ name for sending these “Winds of Justice” upon the face of “Our Nation under God,” in order that with enough faith and effort by His loyal servants “The Tides Will Turn” and “Justice Will Be Served!”
Amen.
If the Californians were smart, they would ditch the Commiecrat leadership and vote for a Republican Governor. Like President Trump’s MAGA, it’s time for the same of California. It’s time to Make California Great Again, MCGA!
If the ‘smart ones’ had not left Califonicatin over the last 4 years, the Red State switch would poll at 80%
True, True, True!!!
They are right about health care for illegals it should not be taxpayers problem if they can not attord to be here they need to go back to where they came from
Terry, so very true, indeed a very sensible realistic fact!
