The new AtlasIntel poll found Ocasio-Cortez leading among a crowded field of potential Democratic candidates, with 26 percent of respondents saying they would vote for her in the primary.

Former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg followed with 22.4 percent, while California Governor Gavin Newsom received 21.2 percent of support in the poll. Former Vice President Kamala Harris received the backing of 12.9 percent of respondents.

No other candidates received double-digit support in the poll, which surveyed 2,069 U.S. adults from May 4-7, 2025, and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
