New 2028 Presidential Election Poll Released — and it’s Terrible News for Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris
New York Post ^ | May 28, 2026 | Zain Khan

The Democrats have already taken a hit in the polls even two years before the 2028 presidential election.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has gained significant support compared to the previous poll and is now virtually tied with presumptive GOP nominee JD Vance at 35%, according to the Emerson College poll.

While the vice president maintains a one-point lead, with 36% of voters likely to support him as the Republican nominee, he appears to have lost more than 15 points in support after polling at 52% in February of this year. Rubio, who has become the face of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, picked up significant support, rising from just 20%.

I hesitate to say the Kamala and Newsome have no chance. I mean you can access dozens of Youtube videos that document how many ‘experts’ said that Donald Trump had ‘no chance’. But I just think that California politicians have ‘no chance’ to become president. What makes you successful in California is pure poison in the Midwest and southern states. They would face a lot of headwinds to win the general election, if not the primaries too. But, then again, I thought Obama had little chance as well, so we shouldn't be complacent.

“New 2028 Presidential Election Poll Released — and it’s Terrible News for Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris”. Are Gavin and Kamala using the same hair gel now?

I think the Democrats are missing an opportunity to put forward one of their greatest intellectuals, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Quite Frankly, I’m surprised Kamala didn’t run for governor. I think she’s finished on a national level.

If Marco continues to deliver and JD doesn’t show that ha’s accomplished anything it’s not going to be a 1 point difference by 2028.

The democrat part of that article:

Backing for Democratic contenders waned overall, with no candidate receiving more than 20% support in a crowded field that included Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Kamala Harris

While nearly every Democrat saw a slight increase, Newsom and Harris — arguably the more nationally recognized figures — saw declines.

The new poll found Newsom dropped four points from 20% in February, while Harris fell three points from 13%.

JD is getting a lot of Good Press in his leadership against Fraaud.

JD doesn’t show that ha’s accomplished anything.

Like Trump he is well aware how things operate.

JD Vance’s net worth is estimated at approximately $12 million. His wealth is primarily derived from his successful career in venture capital, earnings from his best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, and subsequent investments in real estate and stocks.

AOC is in a similar boat. Just on the East Coast.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has gained significant support compared to the previous poll and is now virtually tied with presumptive GOP nominee JD Vance at 35%

This is the true bad news from the poll. Rubio's views are pretty much those of John McCain and Lindsey Graham on foreign policy, immigration, and trade, whereas Vance is a nationalist. Rubio is just keeping his views to himself while he advances his career at Trump's Secretary of State.

JD Vance was an exciting pick for VP, 1 1/2 years ago.

Then, politics and wars and economic crises happened, and Rubio happened.

Plus, JD has become very boring to listen to with every speech he delivers. He’s no comparison at all to Trump.

And, I was disappointed when he delivered his ‘no cards’ challenge to Zelensky way back last year. While he may have had a point back then, one doesn’t embarrass a friend or ally by challenging him on national and international TV. Plus, that must’ve been very encouraging to Putin and Russia, who were likely led to believe that the U.S. would no longer support Ukraine. Giving comfort to the enemy of a friend is a no-no in international politics. I see that as naive and incompetence.

In a presidential election, you have to have verbal skills. As much as I couldn’t stand Obama, I think he spoke well. The only one really that became president that couldn’t speak well were Bush Junior and Joe Biden.

You are right but she lives in delusion. She had a very good shot at Ca Governor but was too dumb to see the obvious.
