Poll: Americans Favor 2028 Vance Vs. Harris Matchup

Hannah Knudsen 1 May 2026

Americans favor a 2028 presidential matchup between Vice President JD Vance and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, a recent Harvard/Harris survey revealed.

The survey asked Democrats and Republicans separately who they favored as their party’s top choice to stand as the candidate in the next presidential election.

Half of Democrats said they favor former Vice President Kamala Harris, who handily lost to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election after replacing former President Joe Biden in the race. Another 22 percent chose California Gov. Gavin Newsom, followed by nine percent who preferred Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, eight percent who favored Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and six percent who said Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

As for Republicans, a plurality, 48 percent, said they favor Vance as the next Republican candidate for president, followed by 18 percent who said Donald Trump Jr.

In third place comes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with 16 percent favoring him as the next GOP candidate for president. Another nine percent chose Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and four percent said Tucker Carlson.

These preferences coincide with the fact that most, 67 percent, admit to at least giving “some” thought to the next presidential election. Of those, 32 percent said they have given it “a lot” of thought.

The survey was taken April 23-26, 2026, among 2,745 registered voters. It has a +/- 1.87 percent margin of error.

Harris still has not ruled out running for president once more, dropping perhaps the biggest hint during Rev. Al Sharpton’s recent National Action Network convention. When he asked if she planned on running again, she said she “might.”

“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” she said, adding, “I’ll keep you posted.”

She also told Sharpton that she knows “what the job is and what it requires.”

Vance, meanwhile, emerged as the fan favorite at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in December, towering over everyone else in the potential field.

I realize this is just a poll, but Don Jr., polled higher than Rubio???  Likely not many are considering the birthright citizenship scenario with Rubio and though Jr. has been involved in helping with his Dad's campaign, he's held no political position.  He is stuck  on himself and a wealthy playboy.

Rubio is never going to get the affiliation of the Gang of Eight off his back.

Interesting factoid about the Trump kids:  Tiffany's the only one born in the US to a mother and a father who was a  US citizen at the time of her birth. Technically, she's the one eligible to be POTUS.

The other four, while also born in the US, did not have an American mother at the time of his or her birth ....
* Ivana Trump became a naturalized citizen in 1988; four years after Eric (her youngest) was born.
* Melania Trump became a naturalized citizen on July 28, 2006; Barron was born March 20, 2006.
