Harris dominates in poll on who Democrats want as president - with AOC tied for third

Former Vice President Kamala Harris topped a new poll on who Democrats would back in the 2028 presidential primary if it was held today, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in third place.

Harris was backed by 36% of Democrat and Democrat-leaning voters in Morning Consult’s latest poll.

Harris had more than triple the support of former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was second with 10%.

Harris’s former running-mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, was also tied with Ocasio-Cortez at five percent, as was California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Billionaire Mark Cuban and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro were both next with four percent each.

I am a democrat, an elected official, and someone who cannot stand the narcissistic, childish person now in the white house. But please, let's not make the same mistakes as last election. Harris and Cortez and not electable, sad to say. We need to win!!

@Docdon23 Cortez is super popular. Harris was never well-liked.

@Docdon23 I agree with that statement, with all due respect to Harris and Cortez.

Harris and Cortez and not electable

Every time a non-incumbant loses (regardless of party), detractors always seem to say it was because the nominee was a bad candidate and that a different nominee would have won.

If Kerry wasn't the nominee, if McCain wasn't the nominee, if Romney wasn't the nominee, if Hillary wasn't, if Harris wasn't...

Kerry came within one state of winning (Ohio) and the last two within a MLB ballpark crowd (of flipped votes).

But if about 50,000 combined votes flipped in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, Kamala Harris would be president today.

Same with Hillary in the 2016 election. And then it would have been the Republicans saying Trump was a bad choice who "wasn't electable."
