A surprise Democratic frontrunner has emerged in an early poll of New Hampshire voters ahead of the 2028 presidential election. <\/p>\n
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came out on top in the Granite State Poll <\/a>of likely Democratic Party primary voters, released on Monday. <\/p>\n Buttigieg garnered 19% support in the poll, the New York Post reported. <\/a><\/p>\n Buttigieg in the poll topped California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has for months been the favorite in legal betting markets to land the 2028 Democratic Party nomination for president. <\/p>\n Newsom finished second in the Granite State Poll, with 15% support. <\/p>\n Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) captured 14% in the poll, with former Vice President Kamala Harris at 11%.<\/p>\n Buttigieg, Newsom, AOC and Harris were the only candidates who garnered double-digit support in the poll. <\/p>\n Other candidates getting support in the poll included Sen. Bernie Sanders at 8% and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker at 6%. <\/p>\n Buttigieg is the most popular of the Dem contenders, with an 81% favorability rating. <\/p>\n That outpaces Newsom\u2019s 58% favorability rating, which was good for fourth place in that category, behind Buttigieg, Sanders and AOC. <\/p>\n The Granite State Poll showed GOP Vice President JD Vance far ahead of the field for the 2028 Republican Party presidential nomination. <\/p>\n Vance got the support of 51% of likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n Vance also leads the pack with a 77% approval rating, according to the poll. <\/p>\n Vance has for months also been the far-and-away leader on legal gambling sites for the 2028 GOP presidential nod. <\/p>\n Finishing a distant second in th Granite State Poll was former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, with 9%. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard got 8% in the survey. <\/p>\n Secretary of State Marco Rubio, touted by President Donald Trump as the ideal vice-presidential running mate for Vance, polled 5% in the Granite State survey. <\/p>\n Rubio\u2019s 58% favorability rating is second only to Vance\u2019s in the poll, however. <\/p>\n The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution precludes Trump from seeking a third term in office. <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
