Kamala Harris plunges from 45% to 17% as Democrats face chaotic 2028 race

  • New polling from Bowling Green State University and YouGov reveals that Democratic voters remain deeply divided over a potential 2028 presidential nominee.
  • Former Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly leads a crowded field with 17 percent support, followed closely by Pete Buttigieg at 16 percent, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gavin Newsom at 14 percent each.
  • CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten called the race the messiest and least clear Democratic primary landscape since at least 1992, noting there is no distinct leader.
  • Harris's 17 percent standing marks a significant decline from July 2024, when she held 45 percent support shortly after Joe Biden exited the presidential race.
  • The survey results emerged as Harris prepared for a Michigan campaign appearance alongside Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, reigniting speculation about a possible 2028 run.
