California voters are split over whether to approve new congressional maps proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom , designed to give Democrats more U.S. House seats and counteract a Republican plan to gain seats in other states, according to a new poll.

A survey by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies found about one-fifth of California voters undecided on the new maps, with 48% supporting the Democratic redistricting plan and 32% opposed.

Lawmakers in Sacramento voted along party lines Thursday to put the new districts before state voters Nov. 4, a map that would put five GOP-held California districts in play in 2026. The vote came as Texas Republicans also rushed through a plan — which does not require voter approval — aimed at flipping five seats into Republican hands.
