2022 CA election: Are San Francisco voters moving to the center? New poll suggests they could be
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Are San Francisco voters transferring extra in the direction of the middle? The outcomes from a brand new survey from the San Francisco Customary counsel they could possibly be.
The ballot — which surveyed 900 San Francisco voters one month earlier than the midterm election — discovered that residents pissed off with homelessness, crime and housing, are more and more open to supporting extra centric insurance policies to attempt to fight these points.

“What we’re seeing is a normal stage of exasperation with the way in which issues are going with town,” Maryann Jones Thompson, the analysis editor for the San Francisco Customary, advised ABC7 Information. “And that appears to be translating right into a shift by way of supporting ‘legislation and order’ kind insurance policies and wanting extra legislation enforcement typically from Metropolis Corridor.”
The ballot particularly requested respondents in the event that they really feel their political opinions have turn into much less progressive than prior to now. Roughly half stated sure.
“It is troublesome to say what progressive means to 1 voter versus one other, however we did see some help for hardline insurance policies which were proposed,” Thompson defined. “For instance, two-thirds of voters had been in help of charging drug sellers with homicide if they’re dealing fentanyl and the drug customers go away, which is a reasonably intense punishment. However I feel it is a knowledge level that metropolis leaders should not look away from.”
San Francisco Mayor London Breed could understand that. Her rhetoric in current months, amid and following the District Lawyer recall election, has turn into noticeably robust on crime. She appointed vocal Chesa Boudin critic Brooke Jenkins as interim DA. And Matt Dorsey, a former spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Division, as District 6 supervisor.

Nonetheless, Dr. Melissa Michelson, a professor of political science at Menlo School, stated it may be a leap to say San Francisco voters are actually transferring that a lot to the center.
“When London Breed stated that she was going to crack on the Tenderloin, San Franciscans did not precisely bounce for pleasure,” Michelson stated. “So, I do not see that San Franciscans are prepared for that form of ‘let’s simply clear all of it up’ mentality.”
The best way Michelson sees it, pissed off San Franciscans are probably conflicted: torn between their core progressive beliefs and wanting a fast repair to a few of the issues they see every single day strolling across the metropolis.
“It is virtually such as you’ve acquired two completely different components of your mind preventing towards one another,” she defined. “You will have one a part of your mind the place you have got these general values, these normal concepts of the way you see the world, after which this different a part of your mind is responding to what you noticed that day once you had been within the metropolis… and you are like which view of the world is appropriate? And also you’re responding in several methods,” she stated.

“And so, it is doable that persons are transferring to the middle simply based mostly on how they’re experiencing the world, however that does not essentially imply that their core values have shifted,” she added.
The outcomes from the San Francisco Customary ballot additionally again that up. Thompson says whereas the survey does present help for extra hard-lined insurance policies by way of coping with homelessness and crime, that it additionally reveals the compassionate aspect of San Francisco voters as nicely.
“The primary factor persons are attributing to the homeless drawback is an absence of psychological sickness care and companies,” Thompson stated. “We’re additionally seeing folks do need to see extra help and ambassadors on the streets, and never solely clearing camps and solely charging drug sellers with very critical expenses.”
That stated, Thompson continued, “there’s a normal feeling, greater than our final ballot, the place we heard respondents say it is time for ‘some robust love’ to cope with a few of these issues in entrance of individuals’s homes.”

San Francisco 49ers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 10 game
Packers may regret starting Jordan Love, Dolphins season likely over
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the top storylines from Week 9 in the NFL.
Sports Seriously
The San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers find themselves in very similar situations heading into Week 10. Both teams have four wins, are currently in second-place in their divisions, and have suffered tough losses to their divisional foes in first. They’ve also both suffered a myriad of injuries to their star skill position players and both teams have taken losses at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.
There is one key difference between these teams though. The 49ers are coming off a bye, while the Buccaneers just played on Monday Night Football. The 49ers should be well-rested, while the Bucs might be more banged up than usual, getting one fewer day to recover.
With both teams missing key players, like Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk on the 49ers’ side as well as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the Bucs’ side, you’d think both teams would be struggling on offense. However, both teams rank top-ten in points per play.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 10 showdown.

Lorenzo Reyes: 49ers 28, Buccaneers 20
The Buccaneers play up to elite competition, with the top strength of victory (.647) — or the combined winning percentage of teams Tampa has defeated. The Bucs, in fact, are the only team above .600 in that stat. But the 49ers are coming off a bye week, and one they needed to heal up. Frankly, I can see this going both ways and would likely look elsewhere for a safer play, but given the extra rest — and the fact that Tampa has a slightly shorter week after playing Monday night — I’ll cautiously back the Niners.
Tyler Dragon: 49ers 25, Bucs 21
Will Christian McCaffrey make his season debut this week? San Francisco is coming off a Week 9 bye. While the Bucs are playing on a short week. The 49ers know they need to start performing better if they want to reclaim top status in the NFC West. San Francisco should win this game whether McCaffrey plays or not.
Richard Morin: 49ers 28, Buccaneers 27
San Francisco desperately needs to get going, but it won’t be an easy task on the road in Tampa Bay. I think the 49ers pull out the win, but the 5.5-point spread is a bit much for me.
Jordan Mendoza: 49ers 23, Buccaneers 16
Could Christian McCaffrey actually play? He’ll make an immediate difference and get San Francisco back to being solidified contenders.
