AOC, Rubio lead in latest 2028 presidential primary poll [View all]

Who will become the next president of the United States? Well, a new poll may shed some light on who'll be running come 2028.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, has surged to the top of the latest 2028 Democratic presidential primary poll, the first time the progressive has led the field. According to the most recent poll by AtlasIntel, 26% of Democratic voters said they would back Ocasio-Cortez’s presidential bid, with former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Gov. Gavin Newsom coming in second and third, respectively.

On the Republican side, Secretary of State Marco Rubio leads the field of potential candidates with 45.4% of primary voters. Behind him in a distant second and third are Vice President JD Vance and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

As of now, President Donald Trump has refused to choose between Rubio and Vance to succeed him in 2028. During a White House event on May 11, Trump said the pair would make a “perfect ticket” for a run in the next presidential elections.
