Poll Shows Kamala Harris and JD Vance Leading 2028 Presidential Primary Fields
A recent McLaughlin Associates poll conducted among 463 likely voters from September 16 to 22 shows former Vice President Kamala Harris leading the Democratic field with 29%, while Republican JD Vance leads his party with 35%. California Governor Gavin Newsom trails Harris at 12%, and other Republican contenders include Marco Rubio and Donald Trump Jr. Neither Harris nor Vance has announced a 2028 presidential campaign, making these early results indicative of name recognition rather than definitive primary outcomes.
