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.
Don’t run Newsom. Run AOC
It’ll be Harris all over again. JD sucks but in no way would I be enthusiastic about voting for Newsom.
Anyone but Newsom. Please.
I’d prefer him over Harris I think, but wouldn’t be very happy with either
Everyone responding “at least he isn’t as bad as that other corporate Democrat” is just sad.
I was not and would not be enthusiastic about voting for Harris - but I would vote for her.
I straight up would not vote for Newsom.
I think we have our answer.
It’s AOC.
Run AOC.
Run a primary
Yeah, you’re right, shit I forgot what those were.
Newsom is infinitely more likely to get elected in a national election unless we suddenly develop class consciousness.
Always saying centrist candidates are the only ones who can win and then running only centrist candidates is a self fulfilling prophecy that doesn’t even have a good track record.
Remember when Harris was running, and everyone kept telling us that Leftists don’t come out to vote? Remember them telling us that she should keep moving to the right, despite the fact that Leftists are way more popular?
Get ready for more of that with Newsome.
Remember them telling us that she should keep moving to the right
I don’t remember anyone saying that, the general consensus seemed to be people criticizing her for embracing Liz Cheney and moving to the right.
If you don’t remember anyone saying that, it’s because you weren’t paying attention.

Hell, search posts here for “leftists don’t vote”, and you’ll find a lot of simps explaining that it’s “akshually smart of her” to keep moving to the right.
It is also possible that the morons on this site who say dumb shit like that were on my block list for saying other dumb shit.
Or memories aren’t perfect and I just don’t remember every stupid thing people say.
Is AOC running?
She’s building up for something, not yet clear whether state level or national level.
NY “moderate” dems need replacement. Hochul, Schumer, Gillibrand…
Antonio Delgado is challenging Hochul and I’m excited for that. Gillibrand unfortunately isnt up for a while yet. Schumer is up in 2028 and therefore the most likely for AOC to challenge at state level.
Is Newsom running (any more officially than AOC)?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She is likely running for senate.
There are rumors. If have to check but I don’t think Newsom is explicitly running yet either
But Newsom made funny Twitter posts.
Don’t run either. Can’t ever get change if people keep electing POS that place the status quo over the needs of the working class Edit sp
This please…
Vance is the lowest possible bar you could compare him to…
That’s good, Gavin needs a low bar or else he won’t clear it…
Why do young men have such bad taste in politicians? Jfc
I mean, I too prefer stage 2 neoliberals to terminal neoliberals
Lots of unresolved daddy issues resulting in “pick-me” men.
Their source of “news” is tiktok. Newsom has a better meme game, that’s all there is to it.
Fuck Newsome. More of the same bullshit Dems that lost to Trump…
I can’t wait for angry liberals to blame leftists for another historic loss after they choose to run Newsom against all reason.
Yes, Gavin is a way better conservative than the couch fucker, but that ain’t saying much.
Gavin will run on a blue ticket on a 2016 maga platform, mark my words.
I agree. He is just another face of Maga. Maga lite, if you will.
Oh look it’s the same pattern that’s been happening my entire life.
Gross.
Can we stop supporting establishment candidates? The fall in line crowd isn’t falling in line and we would all benefit from having a progressive in office.
How is it even a comparison? Who the hell would vote for couch fucker?
Newsom is very conservative and fucks over the poor rather than couches

I’ve only seen the opposite in the comments. The people don’t want a repeat of what got us Trump. But the DNC sure seems hellbent on trying it again.
My assessment is that we are in a unique place where we need system changes - without which policy changes will be near impossible. I’m talking term/age limits for all branches, banning lobbying, publicly funded elections, banning gerrymandering, etc. And while Gavin is not ideal from a policy perspective - he does appear to have the fortitude to tackle systemic corrections.
I used to think Newsome was possibly a psychopath, and I still do, and I thought it might hurt him in a national contest, compared to a “home town boy” like JD, on account of relatability, but now I think it might be the opposite, or at least also true that JD is too relatable for his own good…We know a little too well who he is…
He’s the bosses dickhead kid. You know, the one that would get drunk and tear around in his dad’s boat like an asshole with his other rich dick friends, got in trouble for that awful wreck in high school but nobody ever heard what came of it? Damn shame about that guy and his daughter. Yeah, he’s one that turned a wrench in the shop for a couple weeks but it wasn’t for him, the oil and solvents and whatnot, too hard on his hands. He went off to college for a few years, came back and took over the manager job his dad’s been promising you for a few years. Now he’s your boss, and he just cut your hours. Happy Thanksgiving.
That’s fuckin’ JD Vance.
I figured you were talking about Newsome.
To be clear, I don’t think Newshome is that bad, it’s just the comment began with Newshome being a psychopath.
Same, just swap out for a white collar job.
Stop trying to make Newsom happen.
/this isn’t directed at you OP, you’re just the messenger
Vance is just leading them to the local furniture store.
The repubs should definitely nominate newsom over vance for president. He’d be a much better candidate than all of this maga crap.
This is the equivalent of saying people prefer a dried turd over a puddle of vomit. At least the turd is easier to get rid of.
