(FreePressBeacon.com) – In what might as well be deemed a surprise, Kamala Harris is leading the charge in the 2028 Democrat primary, a clear favorite with 36% support among Democrats and independents, according to a Morning Consult poll.
See the tweet below!
In a political landscape thirsting for strong contenders, Harris’ lead shows a significant advantage.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris sits confidently at the top of the 2028 Democrat primary polls.
The latest data from Morning Consult has secured Harris’ place as a potential frontrunner with 36% backing.
This places her well ahead of other Democrat contenders, suggesting a strong base of support among the electorate.
Pete Buttigieg finds himself trailing significantly in second place with just 10% support.
The stark contrast between Harris and Buttigieg highlights the wide gap in voter enthusiasm for different Democrat hopefuls.
Interestingly, no other candidates managed to reach double digits, leaving 13% of voters still considering their options.
A closer look at the poll reveals Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, and Tim Walz each capturing 5% backing.
As noted by the Daily Mail, Harris leads this crowded field without breaking a sweat, and voters seem to converge around her in a search for leadership.
Following closely behind, Mark Cuban and Josh Shapiro each draw 4% of the potential primary electorate.
Cory Booker received just 3%, demonstrating the struggles of other Democrats to make a substantive impact.
Compared to Harris’ commanding position, these figures highlight her dominance within the field.
Looking back, a previous Puck News/Echelon Insights poll had also placed Harris at 41%, reinforcing her status as a formidable candidate.
During that poll, Gavin Newsom and Josh Shapiro finished in distant second and third places, with only 8% and 7% support.
While Harris hasn’t formally declared her intentions, her name resonates strongly.
Despite rumors of focusing on potential gubernatorial plans in California for 2026, Harris remains a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
Her ability to amass $1.8 billion during the 2024 campaign underscores her fundraising prowess, even if past campaigns found limited traction in battleground states.
The road to 2028 is still uncertain, but Harris’ lead places her in a strong position for now.
Harris widely favored to lead Dems in 2028, poll shows PATHETIC DOESNT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THAT.!!!! https://t.co/rLSvuI5HZT
