Head to head poll between JD Vance and Newsom for 2028 is encouraging! [View all]

Yahoo News/ YouGov poll of US adults from Feb. 9-12: JD 43% Newsom 49%

Lol, JD. The American voters have seen you in action for a year and they don't like it. And for those of you who say JD's number is too high I agree. But in today's climate of extreme partisanship, six points is significant.

Look, Newsom may not be the candidate. But to me this shows that the non maga candidate has the advantage.

I haven't seen enough of Moore to make a judgement on him, but I do believe Jack Valentino Feb 22 #36

Wow, wow .... I wonder. Did a COUCH vote for Vance!!!! Lol. Trueblue1968 Feb 23 #57

That poll shows there's still something very wrong with this country. mdbl Feb 22 #3

Even as a stalking horse, Newsom can drive Vance's poll numbers down farther Brother Buzz Feb 22 #4

Newsom is a bit of lightning rod, so not surprising Wanderlust988 Feb 22 #5

What negative sh*t? Dave says Feb 22 #20

Any politician with a record will have a lot of things vulnerable to attack-- I do worry that Jack Valentino Feb 22 #38

Neither will be the 2028 nominee of their party. Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 22 #6

So you won't be voting for Newsom in the Canadian primary? BannonsLiver Feb 22 #12

HAHAHAHAHAHA! And VANCE will CERTAINLY LOSE the Canadian GOP primary--- Jack Valentino Feb 22 #39

You keep saying that Polybius Feb 23 #48

I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if either become the nominee of their party Fiendish Thingy Feb 23 #49

I think you're wrong about Vance for sure Polybius Feb 23 #50

Clinton didn't even show up in the 1990 polls IIRC. Fiendish Thingy Feb 23 #53

What Vance has going for him is that he's the sitting Vice President Polybius Feb 23 #54

If Bobby Kennedy hadn't been shot, Humphrey would have lost the primaries to him. Fiendish Thingy Feb 23 #55

Probably correct Polybius Feb 24 #58

JD Vance so oozes insincerity & unctuous "love" for all things Trump-MAGA (for the moment)... hlthe2b Feb 22 #7

Exactly! senseandsensibility Feb 22 #8

People do NOT like JD Vance pinkstarburst Feb 22 #9

Newsom is not perfect but I'd vote for him over trump or jd senseandsensibility Feb 22 #11

Same Blue Full Moon Feb 22 #13

and twice on Tuesdays! Jack Valentino Feb 22 #40

so backing pritzker or the vanity candidate in CA is a no vote? nt msongs Feb 22 #15

Pritzker is for taxing billionaires. Blue Full Moon Feb 22 #17

Pritzker could be a good candidate, too Dave says Feb 22 #21

Who else do we have, really? Esp. since we evidently can't have a woman president.... CTyankee Feb 22 #14

Exactly pinkstarburst Feb 22 #16

Murphy is not flashy, didn't go to Yale, smart and knows what he's doing. I like him a LOT! CTyankee Feb 22 #19

He is very impressive and was out there almost immediately senseandsensibility Feb 22 #23

We still don't know if Trump is going to try to pull off running again. Or has he given that up? CTyankee Feb 22 #24

Who knows? senseandsensibility Feb 22 #30

especially with most other Democratic leaders Jack Valentino Feb 22 #42

Mark Kelly, Pritzger, Waltz, AOC Blue Full Moon Feb 22 #18

It's Prtizker and Walz. BannonsLiver Feb 22 #22

Actually Harris is definitely in the hunt WarGamer Feb 22 #28

Love her, but I think that would be a mistake on our part. Scrivener7 Feb 22 #34

It would definitely be a mistake, if she continues to speak with the "caution" Jack Valentino Feb 22 #43

I just don't think she's right for this moment, even if she does what you say. Scrivener7 Feb 23 #44

I don't disagree---- I only meant to express my opinion on the 'best case scenario' Jack Valentino Feb 24 #59

The two best candidates we've put up. Imagine where Scrivener7 Feb 24 #60

I think that's a big risk pinkstarburst Feb 23 #47

Murphy would be my first choice. He's one of the organizers of the People's State of the Union. Scrivener7 Feb 22 #33

It's my hope angrychair Feb 22 #29

Well said. But my opinion is that, if taxing them means they'll move out of my state, we should tax them hard. Scrivener7 Feb 23 #45

Didn't realize they had been nominated already. When did the 2028 primaries take place? Martin Eden Feb 23 #46

By then Vance will be running as the incumbent Bluestocking Feb 23 #51

More "encouraging" would've been 60-40 awesomerwb1 Feb 23 #52
