A new Fox News poll of California voters will leave you scratching your head and thinking, “Is there something in the water out there?” The results make little sense, are contradictory, and show an electorate that does a lot more “feeling” than “thinking.”

Take, for example, Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom. Unbelievably, 55 percent of those surveyed approved of his job performance despite the state being a laughingstock to the rest of the country, with many residents fleeing as fast as they can.

So you might think that looks good for the elegantly coiffed governor – but wait: Fifty-four percent say Newsom should not run for president in 2028. Make it make sense! 

Proving, however, that there are still some functioning brain cells on the left coast, a whopping 68 percent are smart enough to know that Kamala Harris shouldn’t run again for the top job.

SURVEY SAYS: California voters made their opinions clear on a possible Gavin Newsom, presidential run, according to The Fox News Voter Poll.

While more than half of Golden Staters approve of the job Newsom is doing as governor, a similar number say they would not like to see him…

While more than half of Golden Staters approve of the job Newsom is doing as governor, a similar number say they would not like to see him run for president.

The results get even more disjointed when voters are asked about Prop. 50, which passed Tuesday night by overwhelming margins. The proposition shredded the state’s constitution and “temporarily” did away with its independent redistricting commission and handed map-drawing back to the partisan politicians in dark, smoky backrooms.

Here’s where it gets weird, though, even for Cali: only 17 percent thought that the Prop. 50 ensured the best way to draw congressional district lines. Eighty-two percent voted against their conscience just to stop Trump. Imagine living your life that way – only too willing to betray your principles in order to harm someone else.

But remember, I said it got weird, so here you go: 92 percent of voters thought that a non-partisan commission was the best way to redraw districts. You mean the one you just voted out?! 

Even I, as a resident of this nuthouse, have to admit that these people are downright freaky. Maybe the drug-induced heyday of Haight-Ashbury is making a comeback.

WOW: California passed Prop 50, ALLOWING Democrats to redraw congressional lines—potentially axing 5 GOP House seats—despite a Fox News exit poll showing 92% of voters want a nonpartisan redistricting commission.

The schizophrenic voters were not done, of course. They mostly panned Trump and his policies, but it doesn’t seem as if they’re all that thrilled with how California is going either. To wit, 62 percent have a negative view of the state’s economy, only 17 percent felt that they were “getting ahead” financially, 84 percent consider the cost of living where they live as “unaffordable,” and 80 percent consider crime to be “a problem.”

And yet they approve of Newsom’s job performance. Absolute insanity.

In my view, we should use the Truman Doctrine, also known as “containment,” whereby the plan was to prevent communism from spreading from where it was already entrenched to countries at risk from the infection. California evidently can’t be saved at the moment, but we need to keep the poison from spreading. Contain the beast!

Because these people are nuts.
