Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : While Boudin's recall deals with specific circumstances in San Francisco, it also speaks to a broader effort to undo the gains that progressives have made on criminal justice reform in recent years.
44% : He ran on reducing mass incarceration, ending cash bail, and holding law enforcement more accountable for their actions.
43% : Though the overall rate of violent crime in San Francisco is at a generational low, anxiety around specific incidents has fueled a push by some Democrats, as well as law enforcement officials and Republicans, to replace Boudin with a district attorney more likely to take a moderate approach.
43% : Members of law enforcement -- who spent upward of $600,000 to oppose his candidacy when he first ran in 2019 -- as well as Republicans think his policies have gone too far, and have pushed back on his focus on police accountability.
41% :Criminal justice and political experts note that high-profile coverage of specific crimes, such as "smash-and-grab" robberies and violent anti-Asian attacks, may have also worsened people's perceptions of the crime rate.
