Gavin Newsom boasts that California is “the most un-Trump state in America” and will approve his gerrymander plan in a special election in November. But a poll by Politico and UC Berkeley professor Jack Citrin finds voters strongly oppose scrapping the work of the current independent redistricting commission. Just 36% of respondents back returning congressional redistricting authority to state lawmakers.

An overwhelming 72% of independent voters – a quarter of the electorate – want to keep the commission’s line-drawing authority. In an age of polarization, support for the commission is surprisingly balanced at 66% of Republicans and 61% of Democrats.
