A new 2028 presidential poll found Gavin Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California's Democratic voters, followed by Kamala Harris at 19%.

In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.

The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California’s Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state’s Democrats.

The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%).

    I like what he’s doing right now. Mocking drumpf using his own stupid style of tweets is absolutely perfect and really seems to get under the pedo/rapist’s skin.

    But I am not sure about him running for the presidency. I mean yes he’s better that the orange cancer… But can’t we do better? We need better!

      It’s an obvious ploy to gain cultural following leading up to his run. He hired a PR team and this is the result.
