  "account": "Former Vice President Kamala Harris leads a new Rasmussen Reports poll among potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election, with 37% support. California Governor Gavin Newsom follows at 14%, while New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has 9%. The poll indicates Harris' position at the top of the Democratic field appears to be strengthening, as her support rose from 34% in May. Harris has reportedly considered a 2028 run, and her strongest support comes from Black and younger Democratic primary voters. However, the poll's data does not suggest she is on a path to win the nomination, as no candidate has formally announced their intentions. The Rasmussen poll shows the other candidates have single-digit support, with Newsom slightly ahead of Ocasio-Cortez. The poll was conducted from August 2-4, 2026, with a 3% margin of error.",
