Poll: Majority Of Voters Disapprove of Harris as 2028 Presidential Candidate

Amid the evolving political landscape, most American voters, including a significant portion of Democrats, have expressed reluctance to support Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominee for the 2028 presidential election.

Recent polling indicates a broader preference for alternative candidates over Harris for the next presidential cycle, as Breitbart reports.

According to a detailed Rasmussen Reports survey, the majority of Americans, spanning various political affiliations, appear hesitant to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic Party ticket in 2028.

A total of 57% of Democrats surveyed voiced their preference for a different candidate, which mirrors the sentiments captured across other groups: 66% of Republicans and 60% of unaffiliated voters shared this perspective.

Despite this significant lean towards other potential candidates, Harris nonetheless emerges as a frontrunner in the early polls. The November Echelon Insights poll places her ahead of other Democratic hopefuls with a 41% lead.

This places her significantly ahead of other possible candidates such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who all trail by considerable margins.

Voter Sentiment Reflects Skepticism Toward Harris's Candidacy

The polling data not only shows general disfavor among voters but also reflects skepticism about a second presidential bid from Harris under the Democratic Party banner.

Only 32% of Democrats feel it would be beneficial for the party to nominate Harris again. This sentiment is even less prevalent among Republicans and unaffiliated voters, with only 19% and 20% respectively, seeing her as a preferable option for Democrats.

Kamala Harris's potential candidacy isn't confined to the national stage; there is also considerable chatter about a possible gubernatorial run in California in 2026.

Here, Harris enjoys greater name recognition, which may play to her advantage. Despite this, the sentiments are mixed: 33% of Californian voters are very likely, and 13% are somewhat likely to support her governorship, though 36% are not likely at all.

California Political Dynamics Impact Harris's Prospects

Support for Harris varies widely within her state of California. Among California Democrats, a solid 54% are very likely, and an additional 18% are somewhat likely to support her in a gubernatorial race.

However, she faces stark opposition from California Republicans, 84% of whom are not in support of her running for governor.

The context of Harris's previous electoral performance also colors perceptions of her suitability for higher office.

An earlier defeat attributed to factors including voter perceptions of Democratic Party disconnect with the populace, the unpopularity of the Biden administration during that period, and Harris herself being viewed unfavorably as a candidate.

Harris Leads Despite Mixed Support in Polls

Despite the undercurrents of voter apprehension and mixed support, Harris remains a prominent figure within the Democratic Party. Her lead in the polls against potential 2028 contenders underscores her significant political base and the complexity of voter sentiments that may not fully translate into electoral success.

Voters' reservations about Harris reflect broader critique and introspection within the Democratic Party about its future direction and choice of leadership. This phenomenon is not unique to Harris but indicates a more significant trend of voter engagement and demand for leadership that resonates more closely with their expectations and ideals.

In conclusion, while Kamala Harris leads among potential candidates for the 2028 Democratic Party presidential nomination according to recent polls, the broader electorate's reluctance reflects deep-seated concerns and wishes for fresh leadership.

This sentiment spans across Harris's potential future candidacies, reflecting a critical moment for both her political career and her party's strategic decisions moving forward.
