Bombshell new poll reveals Gavin Newsom's chances of beating JD Vance in 2028

If Vice President JD Vance decides to campaign for the White House in 2028, he might have an uphill battle from the Democrats, according to a new poll.

The election is still years away, but early polls in swing states can give insight as to what the future looks like regarding candidate viability, voter sentiment, and party dynamics, especially after the results of the 2024 election.

A poll released by SoCal Strategies and sponsored by On Point Politics and Red Eagle Politics found that California Governor Gavin Newsom and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg may have an advantage against the Vice President when faced head-to-head.

Newsom received a 39% chance of victory in a matchup against Vance, who scored 37%, according to the survey. Meanwhile, Buttigieg fared better with 41% while Vance once again only secured 37% of the vote.

The poll surveyed 700 US adults on August 18, weighing by "age, gender, race, education, and 2024 vote to match the Bonfire National Voter File," said SoCal Strategies.

“””A poll and six bucks will get you a Starbuck’s coffee.””

Especially a poll about an election over three years away.

The polls and media are going to be extremely friendly to Newsom.

Insiders in CA are backing Buttigieg.
He will get clobbered in the general.

Newsom and DeSantis actually had a televised debate.

DeSantis cleaned his clock.

Keep clearing out the illegals and Vance’s chances will continue to climb.

I don’t think Newsom will play nationwide.

Newsom has his trademark shoulder-shimmy, so, that's he's got going for him.

Newsom thinks major fire destruction is funny.

The legacy media is becoming less relevant by the month. Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, and others are getting more views than ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox. The viewers of the older networks are aging out and on their way to the cemetery or the assisted living centers. In 2028, the collective viewership of the legacy media will not be able to fill up an NFL stadium.

No chance.

Newsom? Maybe. He's good looking so he'll have to overperform with the ladies. Harris was able to get 53% in 2024.

Newsom may be able to get 56%. That's enough to win in 2028.

330 M Americans and 700 polled. These pathetic polls are another instruments of the desperate Democraps to influence elections.

Agreed. Not at all. After the disaster he presided over in California he is not selling like hotcakes anywhere.

If you spend some time on DU you will I hear the sphincters tingling for Newsom there. I can’t imagine it will last.
