Poll: Marco Rubio Leads JD Vance in 2028 GOP Primary Race
A recent national poll by AtlasIntel indicates that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has surged ahead of Vice President JD Vance as the leading candidate for the Republican Party's 2028 presidential nomination. Conducted between May 4 and 7 with 2,069 Americans, the survey shows Rubio commanding 45.4% of Republican support, significantly outpacing Vance at 29.6% and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 11.2%. This marks a substantial shift from December, when Vance led the field. Rubio's momentum is attributed to his high-profile diplomatic efforts regarding Ukraine, Cuba, and Iran, alongside endorsements from former President Donald Trump. However, Rubio faces challenges with the broader electorate, holding a net negative favorability rating. The poll also addressed public opinion on recent U.S. strikes against Iran during Operation Epic Fury. A majority of respondents opposed the strikes, citing concerns over increased terror risks and Iran's nuclear ambitions. Additionally, most participants believed Israel exerted significant influence on the decision to launch the military action. AtlasIntel, recognized for its accuracy in previous election cycles, provided these insights into both domestic political dynamics and foreign policy sentiments.
