Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is the Democratic Party’s early presidential frontrunner in New Hampshire, topping California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former Vice President Kamala Harris in a new poll.
With 19% support, Buttigieg leads Newsom – his closest opponent – by 4 percentage points, according to the University of New Hampshire’s Granite State Poll, released Monday.
The only other Democrats in double-digits were Ocasio-Cortez (14%) and Harris (11%).
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) received 8% support and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker garnered a 6% backing.
New Hampshire traditionally is the first state to hold both Democratic and Republican presidential primary contests.
The Democratic National Committee has sought to strip New Hampshire of its first-state status over concerns its population is not diverse enough, but the Granite State is bound by state law to host the opening presidential primary contests.
The survey of 596 voters who planned to vote in New Hampshire’s 2028 Democratic presidential primary found Buttigieg with a double-digit lead over all other Dems in terms of net-favorability.
Voters gave Buttigieg a +75% favorability rating. In other words 81% have a favorable opinion of the ex-Biden administration official, whereas only 6% have an unfavorable opinion of him.

Will Pete’s “ husband “ be campaigning with him?
No. Pete is the smartest and most articulate.
With this lineup, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were write-in votes for Lenin and Trotsky.
Pete he’ll waste Trillions to fight Racist Roads ,LOL
Newsom will be the 2028 Democrat nominee.
The question for Patriots is who’s going to beat Newsom in 2028? I see no one on the GOP horizon - unless Vivek somehow comes through.
Vance maybe because of Trump but if he squeaks by, I think he’ll be out like GHW Bush was in four years (2032) because he’s just another GOP politician with no vison or fire in his gut to bring the federal gov’t under the Constitution by dismantling the 80$+, $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion the feds. BTW, that is the ONLY way to MAGA.
Individual freedom, not gov’t, but freedom FROM gov’t coercion is what made America great and will MAGA!!!
Yay, up with Butt-eee-gig!
I guess Buttigieg was less incompetent managing the DOT than Newsom is in managing California. Although that’s not saying much.
Yesterday, Newsom was shuckin’ and jivin’ about his youth as a hustlin’, junk-food-eatin’, basketball-addicted black man. After this poll, expect Gav to pivot and tearfully recount his struggles as a flamboyant LGBT teen... which will actually be somewhat believable if you’ve seen his pic as “Most Stylish Senior” in the Redwood High School yearbook.
In this particular list, Mayor Pete is on top!
Pete will make saddle free bikes mandatory.
Pete can talk and appear logical and say absolutely nothing, the perfect dem candidate.
Newsom and DeSantis already had a public debate. DeSantis thoroughly clobbered him.
Pete is the smartest and most articulate.
White males who aren’t Sodomites or Communists have no future in the Democrat party.
They had to rig the game to get Joe to be the nominee.
(((YAWN))) ROTFL! Doesn’t he have a calf to breast feed?
My liberal friends in CA are voting B***plug.
Exactly.
Pete got a do nothing cabinet job and took off to raise “his baby” for a year.
He’s another box checking empty suit.
Hope Kamala is their nominee again or Pete. Both would lose soundly.
This is a joke. The Demoncrap powers that be will determine the nominee, by hook or by crook.
Buttplug.... hope he cleans that thing before shafting the public.... /s
