When asked who they would vote for in the 2028 presidential election, decided voters were nearly split: 48% chose the Democratic candidate, 46% chose the Republican candidate, and 6% opted for someone else. Democrats perform strongest in the Northeast (63%), while Republicans lead in the South (54%) and among older voters (52%).<\/p>\n
When looking at potential nominees, Republican voters clearly prefer J.D. Vance (50%), while others like Rubio or Cruz remain far behind. However, in the full electorate, almost four in ten (38%) say they don\u2019t know yet.<\/p>\n
On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris (30%) leads among democratic voters, followed by Gavin Newsom (24%). Still, over one in three voters remain undecided (36%).<\/p>\n
In head-to-head matchups, Newsom would edge out Trump (48% vs 44%), tie with Vance (47% vs 46%), and beat Rubio (49% vs 44%).<\/p>\n
Donald Trump\u2019s image is still negative but improving. 39% hold a favorable view, compared to 48% unfavorable. Currently, 39% approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job, while 50% disapprove. JD Vance remains less known nationally. 34% view him favorably, 39% unfavorably, and one in five do not know enough about him (21%).<\/p>\n
Most Americans do not support awarding Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. Only 23% agree he deserves it, while 54% say no. Republicans are split (51%), but Democrats overwhelmingly reject the idea (7%).<\/p>\n
When asked about the United States\u2019 closest ally, Americans mostly cite Great Britain (17%), followed by Israel (14%) and Canada (12%). Still, large shares say \u201cnone\u201d (18%) or \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d (24%). Democrats are more likely than Republicans to see Canada as the closest ally (19%).<\/p>\n
Canada is generally seen as a strong trade partner. Two-thirds (66%) describe the relationship as good or very good, and only 9% call it bad. Democrats are more likely than Republicans to describe Canada as a \u201cgood\u201d partner (80%).<\/p>\n
Western leaders receive the most positive ratings. Mark Carney (33%), Emmanuel Macron (30%), Claudia Sheinbaum (29%), and Keir Starmer (29%) rank highest. At the bottom, only 12% have a good opinion of Xi Jinping and 10% of Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n
