A CNBC analysis shows a strong link between support for Gavin Newsom in the recall election and counties with high Covid-19 vaccinations California.
A CNBC analysis of county-level results—which are preliminary as mail-in ballots continue to be tallied—found a strong link between support for Newsom and counties with high Covid vaccination rates as of Election Day, Sept. 14. Of the 23 counties with fewer than 100,000 residents, 17, or about three-quarters, voted "yes" on the recall. Meanwhile, only 10 of the 35 counties with more than 100,000 residents voted in favor of the recall.
On the other end of the spectrum, Los Angeles County has an estimated population of over 10 million as of 2019 and a vaccination rate of 59.5%. Its voters strongly supported Newsom, with 70.8% voting "no" on the recall.
