California: Newsom Recall Round-up -- New Poll! Is the recall lacking "buzz" and some more court decisions

Emerson Poll shows recall doing slightly better, with 42% pro-recall, and 48% in favor of Newsom. Newsom is also underwater for the 2022 race. 

Is the recall lacking "buzz?" I'm cited in this piece about how the recall may be missing that certain something. 

More debates of how list people's names on the ballot -- Kevin Faulconer lost his case to list his title as "Retired San Diego Mayor" and Kevin Paffrath lost his to list his nickname as "Meet Kevin."

The Secretary of State has done its random drawing of how to list names on a ballot (and there is evidence that this matters a little bit, but I'm not looking up the study now). The order is: X, K, T, V, F, N, R, G, J, Y, Z, L, M, B, A, Q, H, D, I, E, P, C, W, S, O, U. Green Party candidate Daniel I. Kapelovitz is the bigger winner, as he goes first.

Real Estate players have donated $3.3 million to the Newsom defense effort, at least three times what they've given to the other side. 

Voters will start getting the ballot in mid-August.
