'California Is Finished: More Than 50 Percent of Californians Don’t
Blame Bass for Fires'

'The Los Angeles area fires have charred the popularity of California
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass while showing a deep division in who respondents blame for the fires.
“Both of them are stone-cold incompetent,” President-elect Donald Trump
has said, according to Reuters.
Bass, in particular, came in for criticism because she did not
immediately return from a trip to Ghana when the first fires broke out.
A Daily Mail / J.L. Partners poll showed that more respondents believe
that Bass and Newsom have some level of responsibility for the fires
than those who do not, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
Poll results show that 28 percent of those polled believe Newsom is “a
great deal responsible” for the fires, while 20 percent say he is
“somewhat responsible,” meaning 48 percent hold him at least somewhat responsible for the fires.
Twenty-four percent of those polled said the governor was “not at all responsible” for the fires while 18 percent said he was “not very responsible.” In other words, 42 percent of those responding more or
less absolved him from blame.
Ten percent of those responding said they did not know who to blame.
When it came to Bass, 22 percent said she was “a great deal responsible” with 25 percent saying she is “somewhat responsible,” for a combined
total of 47 percent of respondents assigning her some level of blame.
Twenty-seven percent of those responding to the survey said Bass was
“not at all responsible,” while 11 percent said she was “not very responsible,” meaning 38 percent don’t lay the blame for the fires on
Bass.
Fifteen percent of those responding said they did not know whether to
blame Bass or not.
The poll also asked about President Joe Biden, with 17 percent holding
him “a great deal responsible” and 10 percent “somewhat responsible,” while 37 percent said he was “not at all responsible” and 28 percent
said Biden was “not very responsible.” Eight percent did not respond
with a position.
The Mail did not reveal the mechanics of the poll or its margin of
error.
A New York Post editorial was not shy in offering its verdict on Bass
and Newsom.
In discussing Bass, the Post editorial wrote that “apart from vacantly staring at a reporter who asked if she had anything to say to the voters
she left to die and the long-belated offer of platitudes like ‘Reject
those who seek to divide us,’ she’s done nothing meaningful since she
got back” from her African trip.
“The L.A. fires and the Newsom/Bass flailfest remind us that political leadership really does matter — and that in moments of disaster, it’s
all that matters,” the Post editorial wrote'
