Pete Buttigieg Leads 2028 Democratic Presidential Polls Amidst Growing Field
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has emerged as the frontrunner in a recent Emerson College poll for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. Buttigieg leads with 19% support among Democratic primary voters, ahead of California Governor Gavin Newsom and Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, both of whom have significant backing. The poll reflects a diverse field of potential candidates, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Buttigieg's appeal appears to be broad, garnering equal support from both male and female voters. This development comes as Buttigieg remains active in political circles, recently campaigning for Democratic candidates and maintaining a visible presence in key states like Iowa.
