Poll Shows Harris Leads 2028 Democratic Nomination

Despite her defeat in the recent presidential election against Donald Trump, a new poll indicates that 41% of likely Democratic voters still favor Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee for the 2028 election. California Governor Gavin Newsom trails significantly with only 8% support, followed by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro at 7%. This poll reflects a strong preference for Harris, with other potential candidates like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez receiving just 6% and 4%, respectively. On the Republican side, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance leads with 37% support, while Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy each garner 9%. The survey, conducted by Puck News/Echelon Insights, involved 1,010 likely voters and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Overall, the findings suggest that Democrats remain supportive of Harris despite her recent electoral loss.
