As your article notes, federal law still prohibits these drug use centers and state law doesn’t provide protections for medical providers running the sites.

It will not affect his poll numbers. If anything, it might help them with the folks who are complaining about crime and drug use in their neighborhoods. CA is well known for its NIMBYs, and there are very few people who would want "supervised drug use centers" in their neighborhoods.
