1. WTF! Legally, tr💩mp is Ineligible

So why is this comparison even done?

[Iris]

7. I took this survey and got so pissed off

The question was posed as if trump running in 2028 was an actual option

[Jack Valentino]

15. It ISN'T a Constitutional option---- but since when do GQPs CARE about the Constitution, OR LAW,

and Trump himself keeps fantasizing about it---
so that makes it a valid polling question, just as a hypothetical---

like the earlier poll which showed Obama beating Trump by about 10 points....

Both results showed such an election as too big for the Republicans to steal,
and maybe THAT is the point of the pollsters who asked those questions!


Anyway, if Trump is still alive in 2028, he will probably have to be moved around in a bucket...

[Iris]

17. Yes. But I wish the question would have pointed out this is hypothetical at this time

Maybe something like: if Trump is still alive and attempts to run for president in 2028

[Jack Valentino]

14. just to shame him!

2. A bit ridiculous; it's 2025. Also... !!11!!!1!

[Martin Eden]

3. Speculation about 2028 should be 86'd

Way too soon.

More immediate concerns require our thoughts and energy.

[DavidDvorkin]

5. 49%-41% is much more than "edged out".

[senseandsensibility]

6. Yup. If it was reversed they'd say that trump beat Newsom

: decisively.

[Jack Valentino]

16. I hope so, as that seems the more likely 2028 election....

Then again, KAMALA should have won in 2024---
but next time the 'economy gun' will be pointed in the opposite direction!

[newdeal2]

8. Not a majority and 10% is missing

These polls are just a snapshot useful maybe for tracking a trend but not a good prediction for who will be the nominee or win.

[dsc]

10. At best, barely outside the MOE

so yes, that is edging out. Also as mentioned by others, not at 50% due to 10% undecided.

[karynnj]

19. The bigger thing is that it is three years out

There are reasons to take this positively. It very likely represents a referendum on Trump. There have been no primaries and, on our side, we are in a place where we have many alternatives.

If, like most countries, the winner was the winner of the popular vote, if more than one percent of the undecided moved to us or more than 2 percent don't vote at all, we have over 50 percent.

To me, what is fascinating is the difference between those over 45 and those under 45.

9. I don't think

that there will be a head-to-head matchup in 2028

[BannonsLiver]

13. Some other recent poll I read about gave Newsom 25 percent...

sorry I can't cite it now

18. Poll: Clinton tops Trump in general election

https://www.cnn.com/2015/09/28/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll/

Updated 7:06 PM EDT, Mon September 28, 2015
Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump in a general election match-up if the election were held today, a new poll shows.

Clinton beats Trump, 49% to 39%, head-to-head.

We can't lose!

[Hekate]

20. Lack of sleep had me reading that as "head-to-head ketchup" !!
