In reply to the discussion: New poll: Support for Newsom recall grows, Elder increases lead as replacement [View all]reACTIONary
(5,770 posts)18. Here is the Emerson College Polling news release....
... with an overview of the methodology used:
https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/newsom-clings-to-lead-in-recall-while-crime-becomes-a-top-issue-for-ca-voters
The California Emerson College/Nexstar Media Group poll was conducted July 30-August 1, 2021. The sample consisted of California likely voters, n=1,000, with a Credibility Interval (CI) similar to a polls margin of error (MOE) of +/- 3 percentage points. The data sets were weighted by gender, age, education, race, party affiliation, and region. It is important to remember that subsets based on gender, age, party breakdown, ethnicity, and region carry with them higher margins of error, as the sample size is reduced. Data was collected via a cellphone sample using SMS-to-web, a landline sample using IVR, and an online panel provided by Amazon MTurk.

It would be difficult for them to win going through a normal election, so they try the back door

Yup. Republicans lose in a far contest, every time. So they make it unfair. nt

Seriously. Every time a Dem governor is elected out there, he is recalled. It's bullshit. n/t
