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.

Hopefully, the Democrats have learned backing a poor candidate to make a statement about, "it's about time for a woman to break the glass ceiling" as well-meaning as it may be, does not win elections. Neither Harris, Oprah, Michelle Obama, or Maryann Williams is up for the task. The Democrats need to be laser focused on winning without taking yet another detour on the path of good intentions and good feelings.
