Recent polling from McLaughlin &#038; Associates shows Newsom&#8217;s support doubling from 9% in July to 18% in August, while former Vice president Kamala Harris&#8217;s popularity has stalled, dropping from 36% in February to 27%. Other potential Democratic candidates such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete buttigieg showed no growth in recent polls.On the Republican side, JD Vance leads with 36%, followed by Donald Trump Jr. at 16% and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 10%. President Donald Trump is ineligible to run again due to term limits. Pollster John McLaughlin suggests that as Newsom increasingly challenges the current management, especially on redistricting, he could become the Democratic front-runner for 2028. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Vance-Newsom 2028 race looks likely<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2210082\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The surging national popularity of Democratic California Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Gavin-Newsom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gavin Newsom<\/a>, coupled with the fading voter interest in former Vice President Kamala Harris, is pointing to a potential 2028 presidential campaign matchup of Newsom and Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3792065\/jd-vance-protesters-minneapolis-annunciation-church-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JD Vance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In new <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >monthly polling provided<\/a> to <em>Washington Secrets<\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3791092\/trump-economic-improvement-right-track-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">McLaughlin &amp; Associates,<\/a> Newsom&rsquo;s support doubled from July to August while Harris has stalled.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3791715\/gop-campaign-spending-restrictions-supreme-court\/\">GOP, 20 states, and Chamber of Commerce urge end of campaign spending restrictions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3791092\/trump-economic-improvement-right-track-poll\/\">Trump economy raises optimism to four-year high<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3789675\/gods-report-card-half-of-congress-votes-in-line-with-bible\/\">God&rsquo;s &lsquo;report card&rsquo;: Just half of Congress votes in line with Bible<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2028 Dems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also, two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">potential candidates<\/a> that had been on the rise &mdash; Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-NY) and former Biden-era Transportation Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Pete-Buttigieg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pete Buttigieg<\/a> &mdash; experienced no growth in popularity last month.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughlin said that Newsom&rsquo;s support surged from 9% in July to 18% in August, making him second to Harris, who was at 27% when voters were asked which Democrat they would support in the 2028 race.
