Former Vice President Harris is widely favored as a possible candidate in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field, per a new poll.

The 2024 Democratic nominee has the support of 36 percent of Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents eligible to participate in the 2028 primary, according to a new survey from Morning Consult.

Following Harris is former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who holds 10 percent support and announced last week that he will not run for statewide office in Michigan in 2028.

No other candidate on the list achieved double-digit support, and 13 percent of possible primary voters remain undecided at this early point.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Harris’ 2024 running mate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) each have 5 percent of support.

Billionaire Mark Cuban, who prominently supported the Harris campaign in 2024, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) each received 4 percent backing.

Following them was Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) at 3 percent. The only other individuals mentioned who achieved over 1 percent were the governors of Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan, along with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

Last year, a poll conducted just weeks after the 2024 election also said Harris is Democrats’ top choice to be their party’s 2028 presidential nominee.

The poll, released by Puck News/Echelon Insights, found that 41 percent of likely Democratic voters would vote for Harris to be atop the Democratic ticket in 2028. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) placed second at 8 percent, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), who was in the running to be Harris’s vice president this cycle, garnered 7 percent.
