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 defo think we should run AOC over Newsom. That said, people staying home because voting for the lesser of two evils “violated their moral code” is how we ended up in our current situation. It is unbelievably selfish to prefer to say “at least my hands are clean” as the world grows drastically darker due to your inaction. I really hope we get to vote for AOC in 2028, but if we don’t, then I am begging you to do some reflection and change your attitude.
It’s strange to me that we’re agitating for voters to change and not our leaders. It’s fewer people you have to convince.
AOC with a Bernie VP could win. With just AOC, your going to have a bunch of neolibs that will just sit out because they don’t want to vote for a woman. It’s fucking stupid, and counter productive, but it’s true.
It’s not lesser of the two evils for me. Newsom strikes me as a smarter Trump seen through a Democratic curtain instead of a Republican one.
Voting for Biden and Harris were voting for the lesser of the two evils. Voting for Newsom is not. That’s how strongly I feel about Newsom.
While I would enthusiastically vote for AOC, it doesn’t have to be AOC to get my vote. Hell, id vote Whitmer - and she gives me slimy vibes.
the astroturf is strong with this one
Get ready for a lot more of it when the elections come around. This place will be crawling with that bullshit again.
Hey, maybe he’s a true believer that just drank all the astroturf flavored Kool-aid.
Newsom is also not my preferred candidate. Yeah, it might lower enthusiasm and cause people to stay home, aka the opposite of Mamdami. But I’m not going to go tell my friends and everyone on the Internet not to vote because of it.
Yep, not my preferred either. Not even close. Primary is a bit away so it’s absolutely fair to criticize right now. But the whole don’t vote thing… yeah fuck that.
I looked that up. I’m not representing other people or claiming that this will be a movement. If they run Newsom, they will lose my vote. If that doesn’t matter to them, so be it.
People like you discouraged votes for Harris, and handed Trump his second term.
What are newsomes previous policy choices or personal actions that would disqualify him in your view?
Newsome is terrible. He’s a slimy rich boy who is exceptional at playing demographics.
People are excited cause this gerrymandering thing was a win. The dude has been enabling PG&E to kill hundreds of people in Northern California and handed them more power in relation to solar installation. He’s not that far off from his democratic cuck podcast phase where he let popular republicans shit down his throat cause he thought that would make him more popular nationality.
Newsome will sell the nation out for money, or power, he doesn’t care about California, he cares about looks. DNC loves a plastic-surgeried, rich candidate as much as republicans do. You can hope they do better, but people are shallow.
