New Poll Reveals Surprising Top Democrat Presidential Candidates

With potential Democrat candidates already laying the groundwork for 2028, a new poll claims to identify the party’s front-runners for a comeback bid.

A May 24-25 survey from Emerson College Polling shows former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg leading the prospective race with 18% support to be the party’s nominee from likely Democrat primary voters. 

Closely trailing Buttigieg is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, with 16% support—a steep drop from the 25% he had in an August 2025 survey.

The survey has a margin of error of 4.7 percentage points.

In the middle of the pack are New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with 11% backing, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and former Vice President Kamala Harris both at 10%, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear at 9%.

Eighteen percent of voters remain undecided—a drop from 24% in February, but higher than the 16% in August 2025.
