Worrisome indicators for Kamala…
A new poll shows a significant drop in support for former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as she weighs her next political move.
A new Emerson College polling survey found Harris in second place among a field of potential 2028 Democratic contenders, drawing support from 13 percent of Democratic primary voters. She trailed slightly behind former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who led with 16 percent — despite Buttigieg receiving no measurable support from Black voters.
The biggest share of Democrat voters, 23 percent, said they were still undecided. Just a hair behind Harris was term-limited California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), with 12 percent. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) rounded out the top five possible contenders, with 7 percent each.
The latest numbers are significantly different from Emerson’s November survey, when respondents were asked to write in their preferred 2028 candidate. Taken a couple weeks after the 2024 election, Harris received 37 percent support, followed by Newsom with 7 percent, Buttigieg with 4 percent, and Shapiro with 3 percent. Another 35 percent were undecided.
Speculation is swirling about Harris’ next moves following her decisive electoral college loss in November.
Harris is reportedly giving serious consideration to a run for governor in California, which she previously represented in the Senate and served as state attorney general. Current Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is term-limited, is widely seen as another potential contender in the 2028 presidential race.
At the same time, early 2028 polling has repeatedly shown Harris as a Democratic frontrunner if she were to lodge another bid for the White House.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Harris said at a leadership summit for Black women in California this spring.
Go somewhere. Please.
The problem is they don’t have a leader because they are no longer the Democratic party !!!
