California: Newsom Recall Roundup -- new poll on the recall, discussion of possible Democratic candidates

A new Emerson poll shows that about 38% of voters would vote for the recall (about the same as vote against Newsom in 2018). 55% want a change in the next election. So far, the pro-Recall numbers seem pretty static in every poll I've seen. 

Some discussion on whether a big name Democrat will jump into the replacement race -- I discussed this in the last post.

People waking up to the plurality rule (Newsom can lose the recall and win more than his replacement) -- I'll have quite a bit more on this soon. 

Washington Monthly piece on Newsom and the politics of rage.

A pro-recall look from the right (Hoover Institute) saying why it is about the pandemic response.

Here's a conversation I had with the Legal Talk Network.
