California Governor Gavin Newsom holds an early edge over Vice President JD Vance among young male voters for the 2028 presidency, according to new polling from a Republican-affiliated firm.

The latest League of American Workers/TIPP survey, conducted October 22-28, shows that among young men, 38 percent would vote for Newsom compared to 33 percent for Vance.

The findings suggest that Newsom—a prominent Democratic voice—continues to outperform expectations with a demographic that has trended toward the GOP in recent years. The results come amid renewed debate within both parties over how to win back young men, a group increasingly seen as pivotal to future national elections.

      I think there’s no way in hell Harris would win a democratic nomination. The stink left on her from losing to Trump will be very hard to overcome.

          Not sure what this means, honestly. She hasn’t won a democratic primary yet, but has lost to a historically unpopular candidate. While also sharing the stage with conservatives. I just don’t think she’ll be able to shake that.

        I think she’d be great. I’d vote for her if I could.

        We need more good Senators.

          Think she could win a democratic nomination? I think it’s going to be very hard for her to overcome that loss.

            I think she’d slot into Schumer’s slot nicely. If AOC doesn’t grab it first.

              NY is definitely not an easy state to win statewide elections. But I hope she does. She deserves a much bigger platform.

              Edit: I hope she does. Somehow I said the opposite of what I meant.

        Everyone responding “at least he isn’t as bad as that other corporate Democrat” is just sad.

        So far I think he’s better than Hillary Clinton. I also don’t really know what he stands for.

          He stands for corporations as far as I can tell. Occasionally he is on the right side of things, seemingly on accident.

              He’ll nit support cost of living, depressed wages, and will continue to offer tax breaks to the wealthy. Maybe he throws LGB people a bone, but he will absolutely make sure trans people get shafted. He’s a corporate Dem when what the Dems actually need to be doing to helping working people.

                Is this all based on things he’s actually done as a governor or proposed? Or just the vibes he puts out?

                As for giving trans people the shaft. I think this is just exaggerations people make online. He came out against trans athletes joining sports of their gender. But that’s an issue 66% of Americans agree with. It hardly means he doesn’t support trans people.

                  The trans issue shows he’s not up for the challenge. If he can’t stay on message and has to spread disinformation to win then he is only going to sweep MAGA under the rug instead of addressing their lies head on.

                    What disinformation did he spread? Maybe I missed that. He actually calls Charlie Kirk out for disinformation he was spreading.

      I was not and would not be enthusiastic about voting for Harris - but I would vote for her.

      I straight up would not vote for Newsom.
