Newsom Approval Rating Plummets in New PollRandy Shawbyline‚ Mar. 02‚ 2006The talk of the town is the recent poll showing Mayor Gavin Newsom’s approval rating plunging to nearly 50%, thirty points less than in previous samples. It remains unclear who commissioned the poll, but those called were asked several questions about city issues in addition to their opinion of Newsom’s performance. Some suspect that the poll’s funders have not formally released their results to avoid publicizing the Mayor’s declining popularity, but San Francisco is a small town in many ways and this type of information rarely stays confidential for long. |
