(CNN) As conservative talk radio host Larry Elder has surged to the front of the Republican pack in the effort to recall California Gov. "His attack on working women is unconscionable," Faulconer said of Elder, before addressing "all the working moms out there." In an August CBS News/YouGov poll , 44% of female likely voters said they would vote to recall Newsom while 56% said they would vote to keep Newsom in office. Their exasperation has often been directed at their leaders, and some of them joined in the grassroots effort collecting the signature petitions that led the Newsom recall to qualify for the ballot. Jodi Hicks, president/CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said the contrast between Newsom and Elder on policy issues has increasingly crystallized the stakes of the recall for many Democratic voters.
