per Newsweek. <\/a><\/p>\nThe result is within the poll\u2019s 2.7% margin of error, meaning that AOC and Vance are statistically tied. <\/p>\n
The poll asked voters who they would vote for if Vance and Ocasio-Cortez were the major party candidates for president. <\/p>\n
Newsweek said that the fact that Ocasio-Cortez holds even a slight lead over Vance in the poll suggests that the 2028 open-seat race for the White House could be very competitive.<\/p>\n
The survey result also suggests that neither party has a clear advantage in the next presidential contest and that progressive Democrats remain a viable national force. <\/p>\n
Vance is more popular than AOC among white voters, the survey said, with 57% saying they would vote for him versus 43% who would support the Democratic congresswoman. <\/p>\n
Ocasio-Cortez, however, had a wide lead among Black voters (79%) and Hispanic voters (64%)<\/p>\n
Vance is seen as the favorite for the 2028 GOP nomination for president, with President Donald Trump saying that Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would make a potent ticket for the GOP. <\/p>\n
Ocasio-Cortez has also been mentioned as a potential challenger for the 2028 Democratic Party nod for the White House. <\/p>\n
While she polls well with younger voters, AOC overall lags behind California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris in most 2028 surveys. <\/p>\n
Vance and Newsom have long been the favorites for their respective party nominations with gamblers who are placing legal bets on the 2028 race. <\/p>\n
The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits Trump from seeking a third term in office. <\/p>\n
