Kamala Harris leads 2028 Democratic nomination poll with 36% support

A recent Morning Consult poll indicates that former Vice President Kamala Harris is the clear frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, receiving 36% support from Democratic voters and leaning independents. She holds a significant lead over former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who garnered 10%. Despite her strong polling position, Harris has not officially announced her intentions for 2028, and speculation is growing about her potential candidacy for California governor in 2026. Other notable candidates include California Governor Gavin Newsom, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, each polling at 5%. Additionally, several other potential candidates are trailing behind, with support ranging from 2% to 4%. Harris's previous loss to President Trump in the 2024 election still looms over her political future, although her current polling suggests she remains a prominent figure within the party.
