AOC Within Striking Distance of Beating Vance In New 2028 Poll
The New York Democrat has not "ruled out" a White House run, while the Republican VP has played down the prospect.
New polling indicates that Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be within striking distance of Republican Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential contest, even though neither party has chosen a nominee yet. The Quantus Insights survey, conducted from August 26 to 28, found Vance leading Ocasio-Cortez by 3.3 points nationally.
However, the 3.3-point gap is almost equal to the full survey's margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level, suggesting a close race rather than a secure Vance advantage. The survey surveyed 1,200 likely voters through SMS-to-mobile interviews and weighted results by sex, age, race, education, party, and metro type.
Ocasio-Cortez led among women, while men preferred Vance. Younger voters aged 18 to 29 favored Ocasio-Cortez, while older voters aged 65 and older preferred Vance. Education and geography also contributed to the sharp split between the two candidates.
