Four Democrats emerged as favorites for a 2028 run in this particular poll, including former VP Kamala Harris, California governor Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Pete Buttigeig was also a leading candidate, but the poll didn't run a head to head between him and Vance. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were the Republicans matched up in the poll.

If Vance were the GOP nominee, the Democrats would all beat him by similar percentages in double digits, averaging around 11%. Rubio does better, but not by much, averaging around an 8% defeat. Even at this point, more than two years away from the election, this is good news for a couple of reasons. One, MSN has a strong GOP bias. Two, we are seeing polling numbers which suggest who the Democrats are leaning toward supporting as Presidential candidates and they are all outstanding possibilities, and the Republicans are stuck with Vance and Rubio.

The Democratic party seems to be on track to re-invent itself, based on the very strong political message being sent by the American people in opposition to Trump. Are they finally getting back to their roots among the working class? It seems like that is happening, though they are definitely listening to the American people on issues like the Iran War, now more unpopular, with less support than even the Vietnam War had toward the end, the economy and the rising cost of everyday items like groceries and gas, along with bigger rip-offs like housing costs and utilities.

The fact that someone like Trump, and the tangled confusion of MAGA ignorance and incompetence when it comes to determining what is important in American politics, is an indication that major reform must occur soon. We have lost our free press and the government now must be more than just pro-active in making sure conditions exist for getting it back. Whatever steps are necessary to break up the billionaire monopolies which control the companies that own television networks, internet communications, radio broadcasts and the online "newspaper" business must be taken. The structure is there, constitutionally and in the law. It must now be strictly enforced.

And perhaps, in the support that seems to be forming around candidates who are talking openly about what kind of reforms are necessary to prevent another political disaster from occurring, there is some genuine reform on the way. My hope is that this movement will not be corrupted by corporate dollars before it becomes possible to bring about the kind of reform that eliminates the influence of money in elections altogether.
