Nearly half of Californians hold governor Gavin Newsom responsible for the damage left by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area, a damning poll has revealed.
According to new DailyMail.com polling, 47 percent of Californians think the Democrat governor is a great deal responsible or somewhat responsible for the damage left by the flames.
Meanwhile 38 percent think Newsom is not at all responsible or not very responsible for the dystopian scenes.
President-elect Donald Trump was among those who blame Newsom, claiming his forest management policies and fish conservation efforts are to blame for fire hydrants running dry in some urban areas.
Californians also blame LA mayor Karen Bass for the situation, with 48 percent of them saying they think she is a great deal responsible or somewhat responsible.
