California voters appear to be growing weary of continuous resistance against President Trump, according to a recent poll. The survey illustrates a potential shift even in traditionally Democratic California, where voters reportedly prefer a more conciliatory approach with the current administration in Washington.

"California voters are less keen on fighting Donald Trump than their state’s political elite," stated a report from Politico. This sentiment is reflected in the dual survey conducted on both voters and political leaders shaping California's policies, revealing a significant portion of the electorate desires compromise rather than ongoing opposition.

The findings suggest a divide among Californians, particularly on issues like immigration and climate change, which have been focal points of progressive policies under Governor Gavin Newsom. Despite the push for these policies, some Californians express skepticism about legal immigration and reject the state's stringent vehicle emissions standards maintained over the past 50 years.

Ed Morrissey of Hot Air contributed his analysis, suggesting that even in overwhelmingly Democratic areas like California, voters may be recognizing "the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of La Résistance." He referenced the past claim of Trump's 2016 electoral illegitimacy as a basis for Democratic resistance, which was later debunked.

Continued resistance might pose challenges for Democrats, who are already facing low approval ratings. Unless strategies change, further declines in voter support could occur, reflecting the changing attitudes captured in the survey results.
