The latest polling from seven critical battleground states reveals something the left-wing media won’t want you to see: Vice President JD Vance is crushing California’s very own Gavin Newsom in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup. It’s not even close. Vance is carrying five out of seven swing states with a clear edge over the California disaster which epitomizes liberal failure. Voters are already signaling they prefer a strong, unapologetic conservative over a radical governor whose policies have turned his state into a dystopia.
Vance’s appeal goes beyond just Republican voters. He’s winning over Democrats at a higher rate than Newsom is flipping Republicans. Why? Because voters are fed up with the swamp’s endless lies and the garbage liberal agenda pushed by the likes of Newsom. The contrast is stark: Vance carries a net positive image among voters while Newsom stumbles with brutal unfavorability numbers. Nearly half of those polled think poorly of Newsom — no surprise given his record of skyrocketing crime, skyrocketing homelessness, and governance that caters to woke elites instead of hardworking Americans.
JD Vance is clearly slipping against @GavinNewsom in early 2028 polling.
Vance is not the inevitable nominee. I firmly believe that. He’s untested and inexperienced.@GovRonDeSantis IS tested, experienced, and soundly beat Newsom in a debate.

Meanwhile, potential leftist contenders like Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Josh Shapiro barely register on the national radar with voters. They suffer from low name recognition and negative impressions, just like Newsom. The Democrats are hemorrhaging support because their playbook is transparent — push globalist agendas, choke American industries with regulations, and appease Communist China at the expense of our own economy. The fact that less than half of voters view these Democrats favorably is a testament to how out of touch the party has become.
On the economic front, the poll shows overwhelming support for President Trump’s America First policies, an approach Biden zealously abandoned. Voters want protection from predatory foreign investments and want to keep manufacturing jobs at home. Even large chunks of Democratic voters and Kamala supporters are waking up to the threat posed by China’s authoritarian control over global supply chains. There’s bipartisan consensus that America cannot afford to remain China’s puppet. This is the real reason the left panics every time MAGA-aligned conservatives like Vance rise in popularity — they threaten the entire blueprint of liberal globalism.
The future of the GOP looks bright with JD Vance positioned as the heir apparent to lead the Make America Great Again movement after Trump’s second term. He’s proven he can speak to the heartland and suburban voters who have had enough of woke nonsense and economic decline. The Democrats have no fresh ideas, only tired socialism and identity politics. Vance’s clear victories in key battleground states sound the death knell for the Democrat party’s national ambitions.
If the choice in 2028 is JD Vance versus Gavin Newsom — a proven conservative fighter or a California liberal disaster — the people have already made their choice. America deserves more than California’s failed experiment. It’s time to make America great again, with leaders who put this country first, not woke ideologies or foreign interests. The question isn’t if Vance can win — it’s why anyone would even consider voting for the radical left after watching their track record for so long.
