Kamala Harris is a huge loser in new Dem straw poll -- as lefty activists anoint a new golden boy

A straw poll at the Crooked Con progressive convention suggested Kamala Harris is losing ground among some Democratic activists looking toward the 2028 election. Around 1,000 votes were cast in the non-scientific survey, where Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) won with 38% support. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez placed second with 17%, followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with 14%. All other candidates were in single digits, including Harris at 0.6%. The poll contrasts with earlier 2028 primary polling, where Harris led with 21.8%, followed by Gavin Newsom at 13.5% and Ossoff at 10.8% in a RealClearPolitics aggregate. Harris’ low showing also came as Ossoff has taken positions that break with the far-left on Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
