A new Financial Times/Focaldata poll released Sunday found Harris with 29% support among Democratic primary voters, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 14%, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 11%, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 9%, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro at 8%, and Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia at 7%.

The poll shows Harris maintaining a lead over the Democratic field, although several candidates remain within striking distance of one another. RealClearPolling's current average also places Harris first, followed by Newsom, Buttigieg, Ocasio-Cortez, Ossoff, and Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.

On the Republican side, Vance holds a larger advantage. The Financial Times/Focaldata survey puts the vice president at 43%, followed by Rubio at 21%, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 9% and Donald Trump Jr. at 7%.

RealClearPolling's latest compilation similarly shows Vance leading the Republican field at 39.9%, with Rubio at 24.5%, Trump Jr. at 9.3% and DeSantis at 7.4%.

The latest numbers follow other 2028 polling that has also shown Vance leading the Republican field. A Harvard-Harris poll released Sept. 2 had Vance at 44%, Rubio at 21% and Trump Jr. at 18%. On the Democratic side, that survey placed Harris at 42%, Newsom at 18%, Buttigieg and Ocasio-Cortez at 9% each.

The polling remains an early snapshot rather than a measure of an actual primary contest. No major 2028 candidate has formally entered a presidential primary, and the field could change substantially before voting begins.

For now, the latest national surveys show Harris and Vance at the front of their respective party fields, while a large group of potential candidates remains in contention as the 2028 presidential cycle begins to take shape.
