The 2028 presidential race is already attracting attention, even though neither Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nor Vice President JD Vance has officially declared a campaign. A recent hypothetical survey of likely voters placed Vance only 3.3 percentage points ahead of Ocasio-Cortez, a gap that falls within the poll\u2019s margin of error. An AI analysis also gave Vance a narrow advantage, estimating the contest at roughly 55\u201345. However, the analysis emphasized that the prediction is highly uncertain, with two years of political and economic changes still ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The numbers reveal a sharp divide among different groups of voters. Ocasio-Cortez performed better among women and younger voters, while Vance had stronger support among men and voters 65 and older. The AI analysis suggested that issues such as inflation, the cost of living, economic conditions, presidential approval, and the ability to attract independent voters could ultimately matter more than either candidate\u2019s current popularity. Ocasio-Cortez has said she has not ruled out a presidential run, while Vance has avoided committing to a 2028 campaign. For now, the matchup remains hypothetical\u2014but the surprisingly narrow numbers suggest that, if both eventually enter the race, the contest could become one of the most closely watched presidential battles of the next election cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
