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.

Believe it. JD Vance is better than DeSantis but no super star.
Things aren’t looking too good now. It’s best that we get the propaganda machine cranked up early.
Maybe Rubio. Or Tulsi Gabbard.
Yeah...Harris thought so and so did cabbage farts
Yeah, bullshit.
He is the king of the wackos.
Yep. We'll have to establish the narrative regarding Gavin Newsom.
Right now he appeals to women. So he's formidable but at the same time he's not invulnerable.
It is time to banish the term bombshell from Publications.
It is tedious, and it would be embarrassing if these Publications had a sense of self-awareness
This far out, poll means less than nothing.
We won in 2024 but it was not that big of a victory. The Democrats were arrogant and overconfident and Harris was a horrible candidate.
Trump won 7 swing states.
In 2028, they're back in play.
Exactly.
Newscum belongs in prison.
I remember polls saying Hillary Clinton won 2016 by a landslide....
Wait, what?!?
A southern California company found that the California governor would win the election?
-PJ
Buttplug is a moron but so are Dem voters. Could be a problem.
Newsome and California Democrats will always be “backing” Buttigieg.
A fake poll to help Dems with fundraising.
A rather useless poll for an election over 3 years away...especially absurd to glean anything from it with the candidates both polling in the 30s in said poll.
It seems a little bit early....
