A Poll That May Make You Giggle

By Drew Hayes

Who leads the Democrats in the race for the presidency in 2028? Not Gavin. Not Kamala. Not Gretchen Whitmer (she just announced she isn’t interested). Fanfare: It’s Mayor Petey. The failed Transportation Secretary. Mayor Pete–displacing Gavin in first place. Giggle giggle.

The numbers: Mayor Pete 18% up from Feb poll, Gavin 16% down form Feb, AOC 11% up slightly, Josh Shapiro 10% up, Kamala 10% down a tick, and Andy Behear 9% up 4%. Mayior Pete? The guy who went out on paternity and no one noticed? He’s kicking tough guy Gavin’s butt? Josh Shapiro and Andy Beshear governors from successful states, rise. Gavin the King Trump Troll drops by a huge 4%. Only he and Kamala drop from the February poll. Well deserved. 

 Here are the results:
emerson pres dem poll 5.28.26

JD Vance loses 16% from February from 52% to 36%–As Marco Rubio gains 15%- rising from 20% to a near dead heat with Vance at 35%. Gonna be a battle to the finish. 

 

The the Emerson poll and judge for yourself,
