I had not been a fan of Newsom through his rise (didn’t dislike him, but he just seemed like a generic politician rising the ranks in a blue state). But crises demand different skill sets, and Newsom has been decisive, an asset, and he has not turned things into a pissing match.  Newsom has the biggest disparity between his pre-pandemic approval and his coronavirus approval.

Note most governors are getting higher marks than the President, even in red states.  And a number of governors have about 80% approval in handling the pandemic, including Charlie Barker, the Republican governor of Massachusetts (who was already pretty popular).
