More than 30% of Democrat voters support Pete Buttigieg as their preferred candidate for the 2028 presidential race, according to a new national poll, positioning him ahead of prominent party figures such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and former Vice President Kamala Harris, Breitbart reported.
A new AtlasIntel poll has found that the former transportation secretary leads the field of potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election, garnering support from 31.5 percent of Democratic-identifying respondents.
The survey, conducted from May 21-27 polled 3,469 adults across the United States. The margin of error was not provided.
Ocasio-Cortez received the second-highest level of support at 19.4%, followed by Harris at 16.6%. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., secured 10.4% of support, while California Gov. Gavin Newsom received 7.1%.
Election analyst Nate Silver has previously indicated that Ocasio-Cortez is a likely contender for the nomination. In an April report published on his "Silver Bulletin" Substack, Silver wrote that Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive member of the "Squad," is "the one to lead Democrats into the next presidential cycle."
Silver praised AtlasIntel as a "top-rated" firm, calling it the most accurate pollster of the 2024 presidential election.
Galen Druke, a former host of the "FiveThirtyEight" podcast, concurred with Silver’s assessment. Druke cited a Yale University survey that showed Ocasio-Cortez held one of the highest net favorability ratings among Democrats, with a favorable rating of 60 points. The same survey identified Harris as the second-most likely candidate to secure the nomination.
While receiving comparatively lower support, Newsom has been working to reshape his national image. According to the Associated Press, the California governor has been attempting to appeal "to the political center" and "shed his national reputation as a San Francisco liberal" as he considers his next political move.

2028 is a political lifetime away, but my gut feeling is that the GOP ticket will consist of 2 of the following 4: Vance, Rubio, Hegseth, DeSantis.
Do I have a confidence that the national electorate will prefer a ticket consisting of *any* 2 of those 4 over an AOC/BootyJudge tag team? Yes, I do.
Maybe he will run a commercial with him wearing the harness with the fake boob filed with formula pretending to breast feed a kid...that along is sure to win over voters.../sarc
Because Buttplug did so much great work as Trans Secretary.
They surveyed “adults”…hmm, I’m an adult and I’d like Pete the Boob Buttigieg to be the Democrat nominee 😂😂😂
Trump has forced the Democrats into a corner because, as Gutfeld says, Trump has taken the high ground on common sense.
That’s the real problem for the Left. His policies are grounded in sanity, practicality, and clear-headed thinking.
So when Democrats reflexively oppose Trump and MAGA, they position themselves at the opposite end of the political spectrum. And the opposite of common sense, clarity, and sanity is—wait for it—pure, unfiltered madness.
“Because Buttplug did so much great work as Trans Secretary.”
That would presuppose he did ANY work whilst Trans secretary. Based on available results, that supposition would seem to be in error.

If the Democrats want to reject weird and freaky and go mainstream, they might nominate a Crockett/Hogg ticket.;-)
It was the beard.
Buttigieg: Pronounce it “Booty-jug” because they are not merely scraping the bottom of the barrel; they are scraping the booty of the jug.
According to brainwashed lefties.
Probably right. For a Party that's hemorrhaging male voters, running an incompetent flaming homosexual because that's the most masculine member of your Party is as good as it gets.
30% of Democrats are blind sheep…. Pete? REALLY? Baaaaaaaaa.
Do-nothing Democrats with a gaggle of do-nothing candidates.
I could easily imagine a JD Vance/Tulsi Gabbard ticket. Vance is not going to pick DeSantis. Rubio is possible as a VP pick.
How in the world die we get to this? Are there any Zell Millers or Beverly Byrons left in that party???
