Republicans JD Vance and Marco Rubio, as well as Democrats Jon Osoff and Pete Buttigigig, are four names that are drawing the attention of American voters as potential candidates for 2028 presidential elections.
According to the latest Reuters poll/ Ipsos, about 45 percent of the republican voters surveyed, considers Rubio an excellent candidate for president, while 43 percent share Vance’s assessment.
In the Democrat camp, Osoff and Buttigigeg have received the same assessment, with 29 percent of voters considering them to be excellent candidates.
The survey included 1,000 and 705 adults across the United States, including about 500 registered voters from each party. The margin of error for republican voters and Democrats is five percentage points.
Although neither has officially declared the candidacy, early political movements have begun to influence voter perception. The party processes selecting candidates for 2028 are expected to take place after more than a year.
Among the republics, the possible race between Rubio and Vance takes place at a time when the party is divided over the direction it should follow Donald Trump’s presidency. Some voters prefer a candidate who continues his policies, while others seek a distance from the current president.
One of the republican voters interviewed by Reuters, Barbara Rezner from Florida, has expressed the preference for Ruby, considering Vance too right and very close to Trump.
Meanwhile, Florida Mayor Ron DeSantis is another name mentioned among potential Republican candidates. About 32 per cent of party voters estimate it as a fine choice.
In the democrat camp, Osoff has received attention to direct criticism of Trump, while Buttigigig, who has competed in the 2020 preliminary elections, enjoys greater recognition at the national level.
The survey also shows that former vice president Kamala Harris and California governor Gavin Newsom receive 23 percent of the assessments as excellent candidates. While representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has received 15 percent.
However, political strategists warn that it is still early to draw conclusions for the 2028 race, as many potential candidates have not yet decided whether to enter the race and voters’ preferences may change significantly.
